The term 'class' has a specific connotation within taxonomy and there exist subdivisions between phyla and classes which might make the comparison easier. Under arthropoda are Subphyla Chelicerata, Myriapoda, Crustacea, and Hexapoda. (There is also an extinct class Marrellomorpha and an the extinct Trilobite subphylum). The chelicerata, like Spiders, scorpions, mites, etc., get their name from having appendages appear before the mouth; myriapods like centipedes and millipedes characterized by a high count of body segments and legs; crusteceans like crabs, shrimp, woodlice characterized by their biramous (two-part) limbs and a specialized larval form; hexapoda named for their consolidated thorax with only three pairs of legs.
Many classes exist below these subphyla each with specific characteristics; for example classes Arachnida which are terrestrial and eight legged, Chilopoda which are metameric and have one pair of legs per body segment, Branchiopoda which have gills on their appendages, Insecta with their three part body and three legs, and Malacostraca which have usually 20 body segments divided into head, thorax and abdomen - but there are many more.

What is the order for arthropods?
In taxonomy, arthropods would not be an order but a much larger grouping called a phylum (phylum Arthropoda). Taxa are hierarchical, with the smaller divisions below phyla being subphyla, and within them, the classes/subclasses, then below that, the Orders. You might say that phylum Arthropoda has a lot of orders "inside it."
