Best books to learn Abstract algebra, in order

Abstract algebra is where math gets structural, and the structures nest, so order is everything. Groups come first because they're the simplest, then rings and fields build on that vocabulary, then Galois theory ties it together—each layer assuming fluency with the one before. Rush it and the definitions feel arbitrary; take it in sequence and the whole edifice clicks.
