This question was previously asked in
SSC Selection Post 2019 Graduation Level Question Paper (16 Oct, 2019) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

2, 3, 4, 1, 5

The correct answer is 2, 3, 4, 1, 5.

If one word runs out of letters but is identical up to that point to the beginning of a longer word, the shorter word comes first (e.g., 'cat' comes before 'catalog'). When comparing words with different cases, the standard dictionary order usually treats uppercase and lowercase letters the same, or places all uppercase words before all lowercase words starting with the same letter depending on the specific sorting rule, though for simple examples like these, case is not a factor.
