Steps: 9
Step 1: Identify the relationships given in the question.
Step 2: A is to the left of B.
Step 3: B is to the right of C, which means C is to the left of B.
Step 4: So far, we have C, A, and B in the order: C, A, B.
Step 5: D is to the right of A, which means D comes after A in the order.
Step 6: D is also to the left of E, meaning E comes after D.
Step 7: Now we can put D and E in the order: C, A, D, B, E.
