Describe the best method for separating a mixture of sand, salt, and steel shavings by placing the steps below in the correct order

Perhaps sift the mixture, or expose it to a magnet, to separate the steel shavings from the rest of the mixture. Then, boil the remaining sand and salt in water, so the salt will disintegrate and only the sand will be left. Then, you could drain the water into a sifter, so the sand will be caught and seperated from the salt water.
