What's the naming priority

Say we have Alkene, Alcohol, halogen. What's the naming priority ? Anyone have a list of these or is there is simple way to remember this priority.

Thanks

Memorizing the order is not really how I'd phrase it. But to recognize for example that the amino group comes before a halogen, and carb acid comes before ketones and alcohols is necessary. Its all about recognizing which comes first between maybe two to three different groups. This comes with practice. The destroyer does well to go over all the naming you will need to know.
