Misdemeanors and felonies?

question how is the order arranged is a "A" misdemeanor or felony higher that a "C" or is the "C" higher.
Answers:
Felonies are always higher than misdemeanors. Generally, misdemeanors are those offenses that would result in a jail sentence of less than 1 year. Felonies would result in jail sentences of more than 1 year.

The higher the offense, the closer the letter will be to the beginning of the alphabet.

In Indiana, here are the levels of offense, from highest to lowest:
Class "A" Felony
Class "B" Felony
Class "C" Felony
Class "D" Felony
Class "A" Misdemeanor
Class "B" Misdemeanor
Class "C" Misdemeanor
Status Offense

(Status offenses are only applicable to minors, as it is an offense only because of the status of the person's age as being a non-adult. If an adult committed the same action, it wouldn't be an offense. For example, truancy. Someone over 18 isn't required to be in school, therefore, it's not a criminal offense if that person isn't going to school.)
In Ky a Class D is much less severe than a Class A.
