I keep sorting them into two groups until there is only one in each group.
Like for instance
5, -4, 0.6, 0.1, 11/12
First negs are smaller than pos so -4 is in one pile and the rest in another
-4, 5, 0.6, 0.1, 11/12
Now I can see that 5 is the biggest it is the only one greater than 1
-4, 0.6, 0.1, 11/12 5
Now I would split them into more than 1/2 and less than 1/2. 0.1 is the only one less than 1/2
-4, 0.6, 0.1, 11/12 5
-4, 0.1, 0.6, 11/12 5
Now 11/12 is almost 1 and 0.6 is only a bit more than 1/2 so the answer is
-4, 0.1, 0.6, 11/12 5
If there are any that are really close together you can use a calc to change them to decimals and you should know how to place decimals in order!
