B2c,
I don't know a cardinal or ordinal arrangement of senses... I, however, have written and "shopped" a short magazine article, "the Concert of The Senses"... My position is that no one sense is enough by itself... In fact, as I diagram in my article, a baseball pitcher must use a sharing of most of his (or her) senses to get the ball across home plate the way he wants, to do his job... Propriaceptor, "muscle memory", our kinescetic sense, I am in awe of... The human body becomes magnificent with the practiced abilities available to us via our "muscle memory" sense...
I must state that vision, our visual cortex, is a spectacular property able to provide nearly any improvement to our daily lives... Vision is the only sense that operates in the forground and background (multi-task) in the here and now... I call the background-awareness function of vision as the "mind's-eye"... A therapist apparently don't need to place clients into a trance via hypnosis to do most of their work, once they can accept that clients can function effectively at more than one level, simultaneously... I'm not saying hypnosis is bad or good... I'm saying that sickness doesn't have to cause the client to be so distracted to be unmanageable, that hypnosis is the only way to make progress... I am suspicious that the seemingly magical nature of hypnosis has such strong allure for the new therapist, that they can't resist trying it...
I maintain that we have all the tools in our beings to find our way all the way to wellness; whole being wellness, not just physical wellness... Life Coaching by the properly trained and mature practitioner is another source of guidance that produces effective results... The mental health industry is pushing for legislation in several states nartionwide to criminalize life-coaches not certified by mental health industry standards... A reminder, before Freud et al, philosophical practitioners were keeping people functional; for 3,000 years or so...
Toodles......

PS: 64Bowtie is my username derived from 1964 Chevrolet Pick-Up, refering to my "hobby project" vehicle... Anything Chevy is nicknamed "bowtie" from the Chevy emblem... I made a mistake with my first username, and my second username was toooo wierd; ergo 64Bowtie...
