Because I figured I should have it on this site somewhere – although this covers most of the functional groups you’ll meet in Org1/Org2, if you run into a thioketone or some other bizarre entity, you’ll probably want to see Reusch or Wikipedia. 
Here are some examples of applying the order of functional group priorities to solve nomenclature problems. The highest ranked functional group becomes the suffix – it’s highlighted in red.

said in Curved Arrows (for reactions) - You are correct, sir. Thanks for the spot! → said in Reduction of carboxylic acids to primary alcohols using LiAlH4 - What's probably leaving here is the aluminum salt, Li(+) (-)O-AlH2 . You could draw a resonance form as Li(+) ... → said in 1,4-addition of enolates to enones (“The Michael Reaction”) - It makes a big difference! Mistakes are really easy to make. → said in Oxidation of aromatic alkanes with KMnO4 to give carboxylic acids - Yes, the other product would cleave as a carboxylic acid to give H3C-COOH although it's quite possible that und... →
said in Meet the (Most Important) Functional Groups - good, not bad. →

Animation makes it all the more interesting !
thanks.
