The correct order is
Eden, divvy, dry, fear, pet, say, set, opt, knee, tea, elf, dues
because
each word is a homophone of a number in another language. The order above lists them numerically, from 1 to 12.
1, eden, Macedonian
2, dvi, Sanskrit
3, drei, German/Dutch
4, vier, German/Dutch (or fire, Danish)
5, pet, Croatian/Czech
6, sei, Italian
7, sept, French
8, opt, Romanian
9, ni, Norwegian (is also 2 in Japanese)
10, to, Norwegian/Danish
11, elf, German/Dutch
12, douze, French
