The athletes from Greece enter first and the athletes from the host nation (in 2010 that is Canada) enter last. In between, the athletes enter in alphabetical order of the country name as known in the host nation's language (in 2010 that is English). At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Greece will enter first, Russia will enter last, and in between the countries will enter in alphabetical order in the Russian language.
Prior to the 1956 Melbourne Olympics - the first to be held in Australia and the first in the southern hemisphere - during the closing ceremony, the athletes marched by nation, just as they did in the Opening Ceremony. In Melbourne, the athletes cam into the stadium together during the closing ceremony. This was to symbolise world unity. (Incidentally, the suggestion to change was made by a young Australian named John Ian Wing.)

Yes, in the ancient olympics there was an opening ceremony. But, I don´t know what was it like, so, please, do not ask me.
Olympic protocol states the first athletes that enter the stadium during the opening ceremony are those from Greece in recognition of Greece being the home of the Olympics (where the Ancient Olympics first began).
