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.
