#-2 7/10," " 0.919," " 6/5," " sqrt5," " 3.18#

Explanation:

Lets convert them into decimals rounded to the tenths place first.

#-2 7/10=-2 7 div 10=-2.7#

#sqrt5 ~~ 2.2" " (2.2 xx 2.2=4.84)#

#0.919 ~~ 0.9#

#6/5= 6 div 5=1.2#

#3.18 ~~ 3.2#

So, we have# -2.7, 2.2, 0.9, 1.2, 3.2#

Least to greatest:

#-2.7," " 0.9," " 1.2," " 2.2," " 3.2#

In original form:

#-2 7/10," " 0.919," " 6/5," " sqrt5," " 3.18#
