The easiest way would be to convert the fractions into decimals.

1/5 = .2   

2/3 =  .666666

5/8 = .625

So from least to greatest would be 1/5, 5/8 , 2/3

Another way would be to find the common denominator

1/5 =  24 /120

5/8 = 75 /120  

2/3 = 80 /120

And as you can tell from your numerators 24, 75, 80 that would be the order from least to greatest.

Hope  I was able to help you understand. :-)
