Assets are listed in order of liquidity, or how quickly they can be converted into cash. Fixed Assets (Land, Buildings, Machinery, etc.) take longer to sell than stocks and bonds. Accounts Receivable will turn into cash in 30 days (for the most part) etc. Inventory will turn over several times in a year.
The assets listed first are "Current Assets" - things that wil be used within the fiscal year. Fixed Assets have a longer life. This is similar to Current Liabilities (amounts due within 12 months) and Long-term Liabilities (amounts due beyond 12 months).
