How does the electromagnetic spectrum arrange different types of radiation?

Yes. The different types are determined by their wavelength. We have assigned 7 commonly-used names to the different wavelengths (although within each type, you can get more wavelengths, as it is a continuous scale). The names are, from long wavelengths to short:
Radio Waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible Light (the one we can see with our eyes), Ultraviolet, X-rays, and Gamma Ways (γ-rays). Ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays are ionizing, which means they can add or remove electrons from atoms, which can change the way they react. This is why they are dangerous.
Infrared, microwaves and radio waves are not ionizing. They have longer wavelengths and less energy. Radio waves can have wavelengths of hundreds of meters, and visible light has wavelengths on the order of nanometers.

How do you arrange the 7 electomagnetic waves in order of increasing of their wavelength?
There are not "7 electromagnetic waves". The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuous one, without any divisions.Many people, engineers and experimental physicists in particular, paste some rather wide labels on parts of the EM spectrum. This is done for their convenience, and mostly is a flexible classification. There are no divisions of the actual spectrum.Having said that, the common classification is :-gamma rayshard X-rayssoft X-raysfar ultravioletultravioletvisible lightinfraredfar infraredmillimeter wavesmicrowavesUHFVHFHFMFLFULF
A machine used for making sub-atomic particles move faster?
Particle accelerators function to propel subatomic particles. They use electromagnetic fields to make the particles move at a faster speed, and to arrange them into beams.

What is the entire range of energy waves that exist in the universe?
This might be a description of spectrum analysis. In spectrum analysis, we look at a range of radiated electromagnetic energy, and arrange it by frequency. By looking at what is there (and what is not), we can derive a "fingerprint" of sorts that can be compared to known spectral displays. We can thus discover what is generating the given spectrum we are analyzing. This usually applies to visible light and frequencies close to that range of energies. In the world of radio, by applying spectrum analysis in given situations, we can discover where radiated energy from a source is "going" in the spectrum. For instance, a satellite launched by an "unfriendly" nation might be transmitting data across a range of frequencies using spread spectrum technology. By pointing a big antenna at it and looking at the range of emissions, we can see all the things it is transmitting across that range of frequencies. Then we can consider how the signals are being transmitted, and if they are in digital form, we turn on the big supercomputers and see if we can crunch the data to make it into something that makes sense.
