Major and Lieutenant Colonel
It depends which country and branch of service one is speaking of. The American military does not have the rank of Major-Colonel, the ranks of Major, Lt. Colonel and Colonel all out rank a Captain, unless the Captain is Navy or Coast Guard, then he would be equal in rank to the Colonel. In US Military, in all but the Navy, the order of these three ranks from lowest to highest is: * Captain * Major * Lieutentant Colonel * Colonel A Captiain in the Navy is the equivalent in rank of a Colonel in the Army, USAF or USMC
In most military's, an army colonel is several grades higher than captain. In the United States Army, for example, a captain is an O-3 while a colonel is an O-6. That is switched, so to speak, for most navies. A captain is the highest rank just under admiral. Note, though, that navies don't have a colonel rank.

colonel
A Major is an Commissioned Officer is the military where as a Sergeant is an Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO). So yes a Major is higher in rank than a Sergeant.
Which military is this? The question is categorised under US Army and US Navy, but neither rank exists in any branch of the US military. I mean are they the same rank nd my bad for the catagories in any military I mean
"Colonel" is a military rank, and has no word with "opposite meaning".
