Countries will enter the Olympic Stadium following the alphabetical order in Mandarin (language of the host country), which is quite different from the one we use in most languages. One would expect Australia to be among the first countries to enter the Stadium but that is not going to happen since in Chinese, Australia is among the last letters of the alphabet, just close to Zambia, for example.

Order for athletes to enter 2008 open ceremony?
Unless someone knows Chinese, that answer is impossible to give. The order of entering the stadium at the opening ceremony is that Greece goes first, the host country (China) goes last, and in between the countries march in alphabetical order according to the language of the host country. Unless one knows what the countries are known as in Chinese it is not possible to know the order of entry for the opening ceremony. Actually this isn't true for these games. The athletes will enter the stadium by number of strokes in that countries name in the Chinese Language :)
