The Hebrew Bible follows the chronological order: first the five books of the Torah, since they were given before any of the other prophetic books. Then Joshua, Judges, and Samuel and Kings in that order, since that is chronological. Ruth (and others) could be before Kings, but we keep the Prophets and Writings separate.
After Kings, we have Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel, which is in chronological order. All three of them lived well after the kings had already started.
Then we have the Writings. Psalms, Proverbs and Job are together since they (and none of the other books) are a specific type of poetry ("Taamei Emet", with special trope).
The Five Megillot (Song of Songs, Ruth, Eichah, Kohellet, Esther) are together, in the order in which they're read in the synagogue.
Finally, the books of Daniel, Ezra-Nehemiah and Chronicles were written in the end of the prophetic period.
It is worth noting that the Jewish Bible existed prior to the Christian Old Testament, so it is the ordering in the Christian Old Testament that was altered from the Jewish Bible, not the other way around.
