There are three orders of Cardinals:
Cardinal Bishops
Cardinal Priests
Cardinal Deacons
There are no Cardinal Archbishops but there are archbishops who are cardinals.
A Catholic Bishop and Archbishop are technically the same in "rank," however, an Archbishop is really a title given to a bishop in charge of a larger diocese, such as the Archbishop of New York.
The only rank higher than a Cardinal on Earth is a pope.
Um, that is not a direct answer to the question. A direct answer would be that a cardinal ranks higher than a bishop.
A pope is more important because a bishop is the catholic leader of the diocese, but the pope is the catholic leader of the world.

The highest holy order is bishop, so bishops, archbishops, cardinals and popes are all bishops. However, in terms of rank, an archbishop is higher than a bishop, a cardinal is higher than an archbishop, and a pope is higher than a cardinal. The Pope appoints the cardinals, and cardinals appoint a pope. They are different things, and sometimes the same. An Archbishop is usually just the bishop of an Archdiocese. He may or may not be a Cardinal as well. A cardinal is not necessarily even a priest, although that is very uncommon in modern times, we still do have a number of cardinals who are appointed for one reason or another who are not bishops, and do not wish to be made bishops. They are not one higher than another, a Cardinal is just someone who has been honored with the responsibility of voting for the next Pope.
