1.Clarinet
2.Bass Clarinet
3.Cello
4.Violin
5.Piano

I agree with the statement woodwind must be the first, because if there is a flute, you must write it the first.

In a small chamber group like this the piano usually comes last (look at the Poulenc’s Sextet, for example). Woodwinds always go first, strings next, so:
Clarinet
Bass Clarinet
Violin
Cello
Piano

You basically have two options:

Clarinet
Bass Clarinet
Piano
Violin
Cello

This would be orchestral score order.

Putting the piano below the other four instruments would be the other option. This would be appropriate for a small ensemble or if the piano serves only to accompany the other instruments.

Musician, composer, teacher.
