The phases are already listed in their natural chronological order. A common mnemonic to remember this sequence is PMAT (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase).

Phase Descriptions
Prophase: The chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Metaphase: Chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell (the metaphase plate).

Anaphase: Sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the cell.

Telophase: Two new nuclear envelopes form around the separated chromosomes at each pole.
