title_body: Is this sonority hierarchy correct? I need to sort these phonemes properly before I get into clusters and making syllables, but I'm not sure I did it right.
upvoted_answer: Sonority refers to the amplitude of the sound signal; ie the louder a sound is, the higher it ranks. Vowels are loudest, as they are voiced and generally less constricted than most consonants. Within the vowels, the open ones (eg /a/),  are louder than the closed ones (/i/, /u/). Then laterals, nasals, fricatives, and finally plosives. Within each of these groups (where applicable) the voiced variant is higher than the voiceless one (eg /g/ > /k/, and /d/ > /t/).
  
  This matches the ranking in your image, so I would say it is correct.
