To put the canonical and non-canonical books of the Bible in order, first, separate them into their respective categories: the Old Testament (or Hebrew Scriptures) and the New Testament for canonical books, and then identify the non-canonical books, often referred to as apocryphal or deuterocanonical texts. For the canonical books, follow the traditional order established by religious traditions, such as the Septuagint for the Old Testament and the common arrangement of the New Testament letters and gospels. For non-canonical books, research their historical context and grouping, as they may vary between Christian traditions. Finally, list them in chronological or thematic order as appropriate for your study or presentation.
In the standard Bible there are 39 Books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New testament making 66 in all. However, bibles vary as to which books are accepted as 'canonical' - accepted as scripture because of their providence and teaching. Roman Catholic Bibles differ especially in the Old Testament where certain other books (part of an additional, non-canonical section called the Apocrypha in protestant Bibles) are included. The Greek Orthodox Bible also differs slightly with the addition of extra books in the Old Testament. However, except for just a few minor differences in the letters, all New testament books are the same across the Lutheran, Protestamt, Catholic and Orthodox churches.

There was a "committee" that met and examined the books. The books had to meet certain criteria, such as have verified authorship, had to be accepted by the churches, had to agree with other books of the Bible.
the Catholic Bible Actually, both are correct. However, the Protestants threw out a bunch of books of the Bible that did not fit with their teachings that are still recognized by Catholics as canonical. Therefore, the Catholic Bible is 'more correct.'
