I believe age equals power in the dragon world. I think Bahamut was the oldest, which exlains why he's the biggest. Hraesvelgr and Nidhogg resemble each other a lot, maybe twins. I don't know in which order the rest should be placed.

As noted above, you might want to check the date on the thread before you post. We know a LOT more about dragons now than anyone in this thread knew back in April of 2015!

To respond to your comment, though, size does not necessarily indicate age, for dragons. Vishap is the largest dragon we've seen apart from Midgardsormr and the Primal version of Bahamut (who may or may not have been the same size as the original Bahamut), and all of the first-generation dragons you listed are older than Vishap was.

Whether a dragon's power corresponds with age, it's possible, but nothing has been clearly stated on the topic. I think it can be assumed, though, that the more powerful a dragon is, the better chance they have of overcoming the things that would try to kill them. So, really old dragons are very likely really powerful (or, at least, really good at avoiding trouble).
