Compare the category first.
5♠ 5♥ 5♦ A♥ K♥ Q♥
The trail wins. A higher category beats the cards in a lower one.
K♦ 9♦ 4♦ A♠ A♥ 7♣
The colour wins. The pair of aces remains a pair.
What if the categories match?
For pairs, compare the pair rank, then the remaining card. For colour and high card, compare highest card first, then the next. Use your room’s rules for sequence order and exact ties.
A-2-3 and A-K-Q can have different priority in different rooms. Special variations may also replace the classic order.
