(Continue 3-6 until desired amounts of meat and cheese)
7. Lettuce
8. Pickles / Peppers
9. Chips
10. Bread (Toasted to some degree)

You essentially don't want a big block of flavor anywhere in the sandwich. Condiments are at the very bottom so that they are tasted first, that way they compliment the rest of the ingredients during a bite. If placed on top, they are tasted last and the flavor of the ketchup/mustard/mayo overlaps a lot of the previous flavors due to their strength. You want a crunchy texture in the ingredients at the top, as that's where the bite starts. It's more satisfying than just biting into a bundle of meat and cheese which is all a soft texture - like biting into clay. This is called the Pueblo effect.

This man is excellent. He gets into the science of cooking, and does it in an entertaining way. Check out his cookbooks or watch his show 'Good Eats' (likely on youtube).
