You can start from the Japanese 1st grade level, then to the 2nd grade level, and work yourself upward that way. Search Google for "Japanese 1st grade kanji" or something similar. If you learn some basic kanji characters, you will be able to read basic Japanese text, and from there, you can look up unfamiliar kanji in a Japanese dictionary like jisho.org.
However, there is no "order" to learning kanji, and you can learn in whatever order you please.

How could I learn Japanese in a short time not only to speak Japanese but to also read and right kanji as well?
Learning Japanese is very difficult to learn within a short period of time, especially with Kanji. Your best route is to first learn the basics, starting with Hiragana, then Katakana. Once you have a grasp on those two, you can slowly work your way into Kanji, which is one of the harder ones to learn.
How many kanji characters used please answer from someone Japanese?
Im not Japanese, but in Japanese the amount of charaters (Im refering to Kanji not Kana) you depends on your grade. In first grade there are 80 characters to learn, in second grade that doubles to 160. In total the first 6 or 7 grades cover about 2,136. These are known are Jyouyou Kanji or everyday Kanji and are used quite often in everyday situations. After that there is Jinmei kanji which are used in names. But before anyone trys to learn learn kanji they should learn Kana FIRST. Their are 2 main types of Kana. Hiragana and Katakana. Hiragana is used for Native Japanese words and names. Katakana is used for Foreign names and Borrowing in the Japanese language. Both of these are used to learn how to pronounce Kanji and even be used instead of Kanji sometimes (e.g. when a young child is reading or writing) Both Kana sets have about 42 characters each. Their are times when kana is written on top of kanji or to the right of it (depending on the direction of the text) this is known as Furigana.

How can you remember kanji that you learned?
One of the most common ways of learning Kanji is by getting cardboard cards (like presentation cards) and drawing the Kanji on one side, and on the other side the pronunciation and meaning of the Kanji. Pile up the cards, Kanji-side up. Pick up a card, and try and remember the meaning and how to say it, then reverse the card to check if you were right. Repetition is key here, it may take months to learn some of the hardest Kanji. A way that is often used to remember a Kanji's writing is by imagining in your mind what the Kanji represents. "Hito", meaning person, is a Kanji that actually resembles a simply drawn person, while the kanji for river, "Kawa", looks like a little river with lines in the water. Association of the Kanji with a certain mental image can help enhance your memory for the Kanji.
How many Chinese words are in the Japanese language?
It is said that some 50,000 kanji (Chinese characters) exist. However, many kanji are not necessarily used in daily life. The Japanese Ministry of Education designated 2,136 characters as Jooyoo Kanji, which are the most frequently used characters. It would be very helpful to learn all Jooyoo Kanji, but the basic 1,000 characters are sufficient to read about 90% of the kanji used in a newspaper (about 60% with 500 characters).

There are numerous on-line (reliable) that are free (And some not) that are aimed to help people learn Kanji.PS. Chinese and Japanese (Though similar with some Kanji) are very different languages.
