The problem asks to show that \(\neg p \rightarrow (q \rightarrow r)\) and \(q \rightarrow (p \vee r)\) are logically equivalent. Let's go step by step through the process of proving their equivalence using logical transformations.

### Given Expression
\[
\neg p \rightarrow (q \rightarrow r)
\]
This is the initial statement that needs to be shown as logically equivalent to:
\[
q \rightarrow (p \vee r)
\]

### Steps and Justifications

Here are the ordered steps with justifications to transform \(\neg p \rightarrow (q \rightarrow r)\) into \(q \rightarrow (p \vee r)\):

1. Start with \(\neg p \rightarrow (q \rightarrow r)\).
   
2. Apply the implication rule (\(a \rightarrow b = \neg a \vee b\)) to both implications:
   \[
   \neg p \rightarrow (q \rightarrow r) \equiv p \vee (\neg q \vee r)
   \]
   This step involves converting both implications into disjunctions.

3. The expression simplifies to:
   \[
   p \vee \neg q \vee r
   \]

4. Rearrange the terms:
   \[
   \neg q \vee (p \vee r)
   \]
   This uses the associative and commutative properties of disjunction.

5. Finally, recognize that the expression now matches the form \(q \rightarrow (p \vee r)\), since \(q \rightarrow (p \vee r)\) is logically equivalent to \(\neg q \vee (p \vee r)\).

### Correct Order of Drag-and-Drop Boxes
The correct sequence for the drag-and-drop boxes based on this logical derivation is:

1. \(\neg p \rightarrow (q \rightarrow r)\)
2. \(= p \vee (q \rightarrow r)\)
3. \(= p \vee (\neg q \vee r)\)
4. \(= p \vee \neg q \vee r\)
5. \(= \neg q \vee (p \vee r)\)
6. \(= q \rightarrow (p \vee r)\)

This shows the logical equivalence step-by-step.
