Pedalboard sequence

Working with configuration. My board consists of:
1: Pork and Pickle OD
2. Qtron envelope
3. EHX Mono synth (or)
4. EHX Microsynth
5. Octave
6. Flange
7. Phase
8. Dave Eden WTDI (compression)
9. Digi Delay

Orange terror 500 (with FX loop)
SWR 4x10
Bergantino HT322 2X10, 12

What pedal order would make the most sense?

Thanks!
 
There are some generally agreed-upon rules for this, so before you get to the nitty-gritty, start by learning the basics:

Tuner first
Then clean up effects (hi pass, low pass, compression)
Modulation effects (chorus, phaser, flanger)
Time effects last (reverb, delay, echo)
DI last to go to the amp and front of house

Generally, your octave and synth stuff will go to the front, followed by the Qtron and dirt (dirt first for pronounced quack, dirt second for subtler quack), then your modulation, then your delay.

IMO comp goes where it works, and it's not always where you expect. Since the comp comes with a DI, try it last.

Now, listen to your songs and move stuff as you need it.
