A lot of ranks are mentioned in the world of Fullmetal Alchemist (such as
Colonel Mustang, Major Alex Louis Armstrong, etc.) but I've never known, what
do these mean compared to themselves.

Can I find a descending order of all the character who's appearing in
Fullmetal Alchemist (both in 2003 and 2009 series) with an order according to
the rank in the army?

[This link](http://fma.wikia.com/wiki/Military_Ranks) is to the same wiki but
to a page with all the ranks and people of those ranks including outside the
state alchemists, it is noted that State Alchemists are an equivalent rank to
Major, also the highest rank (Führer) is at the top.
