What Order is a chipmunk?

Answer 1

Of the Garter, I would think. Long version: The Most Noble Order of the Garter. Then again, knighthood has probably been reserved for those chipmunks that long belonged to David Seville [real name Rostom Bagdasarian, Sr.]. Sadly, Mr. Bagdasarian, Sr.-Seville has not been with us for too long a time, although his progeny shall remain fresh forever. But you are not asking whether any specific chipmunk has nobility or chivalry in its family line. You want scientific classification, I assume. Not as fun, perhaps, but here you go: Chipmunks
Scientific Classification
• Kingdom: Animalia
• Phylum: Chordata
• Class: Mammalia
• Order: Rodentia
• Family: Sciuridae

People, this information is simple to find. Do a Google search. For this sort of information, the first thing Google will throw you will be Wikipedia. This is generally not just a safe bet, but a sure one. For a long time, I did not appreciate Wikipedia. The answers were often wrong, or screwy, or both, & always embraced misspellings & poor punctuation [not crafted punctuation, mind you. Not phraseology purposefully given a peculiar polish. Not thought through. Just bad]. It is not that way any more. Sure, you will hit misinformation, but nowhere near as much. Wikipedia has exponentially improved. & it is so easy to use. It would take less time to research an answer to a question like the abovenoted than it took you to ask it & me to answer it here. &, of course, you wouldn't be first forced to wade through my considered cogitation on the dates Simon, Theodore & Alvin were awarded their OBEs.
