haniya, the GL Assessment familiarisation papers might be helpful to you in deciding which topics are relevant, because what appears in GL is very likely to also turn up in CEM tests:

Ordering of fractions does appear as a question type, although they are not improper fractions - see Maths Paper 1, Q.35:

That's a much easier question, more in line with what Year 5 could tackle.

I'm surprised to hear you say that.

The fractions in Q35 include different denominators (1/2, 3/4, 5/8) etc so you would need to convert some of them to a common denominator.

Whereas the fractions in the OP's question are all eighths. Doesn't that make the OP's question easier? :?

No - the fractions are greater than one which pushes it into Year 6.

Year 5 content:
* compare and order fractions whose denominators are all multiples of the same number
