Explanation

To arrange words in dictionary order, compare letter by letter: HEMATI vs HEQUET - both start with HE, compare third letter: M vs Q - M comes before Q, so 1 comes before 2. HEQUET vs HLKJHG - both start with H, second letter: E vs L - E comes before L, so 2 comes before 4. HLKJHG vs HOPLKJ - both start with H, second letter: L vs O - L comes before O, so 4 comes before 5. HOPLKJ vs HPOLHPO - both start with H, second letter: O vs P - O comes before P, so 5 comes before 3. The correct order is: 1 (HEMATI), 2 (HEQUET), 4 (HLKJHG), 5 (HOPLKJ), 3 (HPOLHPO).
