Are the Buddhist 8 hot hells and 8 cold hells ordered together into one list?

I am reading about these in [Buddhist Cosmology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_cosmology) , and am wondering if they are ordered together (hot and cold) into one sequential list, where it goes (from least severe to most severe): 1. top cold (slight pain) 2. bottom cold 3. top hot 4. bottom hot (pure pain) The cold seems like less pain than the hot, as you can easily experience chattering teeth, and even blisters, in normal routine life. Get down to frostbite and you don't really feel it because you are numb. But enter hot hell, and you immediately are killed and revived over and over again, all the way to pure pain. But maybe they don't move in a sequence as one, and are just two interwoven or separate progressions? How does it work exactly.
