The simplest way I have found on how to remember these elements is by making an anagram or a partial anagram/sentence. Choose whichever order best works for you make something up that you can remember with ease. What worked for me was: COP NHS = Cop (in) North High School...
If you are asked to name them in some kind of order you will need to adhere to those instructions and prepare adequately.
In a worse case scenario, you'll have to remember them as they are.
