What's the official order of a deck of 52 playing cards?

Are they sorted by suit? If so, in what order? For example: spades, clubs, hearts, diamonds.


Within each suit, is the ace low or high?


Which card is considered is #1 (ace of spades?) and which is #52 (king of diamonds?)

What's the official order of a deck of 52 playing cards?
I think it would depend on the game. In bridge, the ace is highest, king is next, and the 2 is lowest in each suit. The suits are ranked (high to low) spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs. So the lowest in the entire deck is the 2 of clubs.
