What order does the leadership roles in the orthodox church?
The head of the Orthodox Church is Jesus Christ. The spiritual leaders are the four Ancient Patriarchates (ie. Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem) followed by the leaders of the "Autocephalous" (self-governing) churches, such as Moscow, Greece, Serbia, etc. The Orthodox Church has no pope as the sole leader. The highest authority in the Orthodox Church is an Ecumenical Council (or Synod) that consists of the spiritual leaders (or their representatives) from the whole Orthodox world.

Which is a valid distinction between the catholic church and the eastern orthodox church?
The most visible distinction is that Roman Catholics recognize the supremacy of the Pope in Rome, while the Eastern Orthodox Church doesn't. The Orthodox Church does not have one single leader: the Patriarchs of the several East European countries are all supreme leaders of 'their' Church. The Patriarch of Constantinople traditionally is seen as the 'first among equals' but that is more a courtesy title than an expression of real supremacy. All other distinctions concern often obscure points of theological doctrine, such as the fact that Roman Catholics consider Father, Son and Holy Ghost as a trinity, while the Eastern Orthodox Church sees them as a 'duality', linking the Holy Ghost to the Father only. Finally: when they cross themselves, Orthodox believers go from right to left, Roman Catholics from left to right.

These were the main events that caused the 1054 schism and creating officially the Catholic and Orthodox Church. However seeing how the Catholic Church changed its teachings,liturgy among other things. The Orthodox Church did not change anything before or after the 1054 schism That is why the Catholic Church views the Orthodox Church as valid, but the Orthodox Church doesn't for the Catholic Church
