I was just thinking about radical stability, and can't seem to figure this one out. Is this the right order of decreasing radical stability?

tertiary allylic> tertiary> secondary> secondary vinyllic

The part that I'm not sure about is if a vinyllic position is less stable than secondary.
 
Radical stability from most stable to least stable:

benzyl, allyl > tertiary > secondary > primary > methyl > Vinylic
