Put these numbers in order from least to greatest.

0.42, 2/3, 5/9, 0.36

Let's convert all the numbers to decimals for easier comparison:

- \( 0.42 \) is already a decimal.
- \( \frac{2}{3} \approx 0.6667 \)
- \( \frac{5}{9} \approx 0.5556 \)
- \( 0.36 \) is already a decimal.

Now, we can order them from least to greatest:

\[
0.36, 0.42, 0.5556, 0.6667
\]

So the correct order is:

\[
0.36, 0.42, \frac{5}{9}, \frac{2}{3}
\]
