Based strictly on what we've seen in the movies, it's:
Odin>Hela>Thor>Loki>Heimdall
Odin banished Hela against her will at her strongest.
Hela couldn't be stopped by Thor at his strongest.
Thor has beaten Loki on multiple occasions.
Loki and Heimdall are somewhat of a toss-up, but we've seen Loki do more, so I'm giving him the edge due to Heimdall being very bad at his job in Thor 2.
Thor with Stormbreaker
Odin
Hela
Thor with Mjolnir
Loki /Thor without hammer (debatable, but Thor has relied on his hammer to counter much of Loki's magic
Heimdall
Odin in the comics has a huge sword that once unsheathed brings about the end of the world but yes one eye sparkle hands with a very large hammer seems to be the one still swinging.

In Norse mythology Loki and Heimdall kill each other. Helas brothers fight Odin and Thor and all four die...

Heimdall should get extra cool-factor points for being played by Idris Elba
Anyone knows that Odin was the most powerful at his prime in the comics. That was also explained in the MCU. He defeated Hela. Thor and Loki together couldn't even do that. Their first battle vs Hela they lost without her at her full power. Regardless of Thor with Stormbreaker, I believe Odin is the strongest. All the legends and stories about him, no one compares. The real question is Thor Stormbreaker or Hela????? I dunno.

I'd buy that in general, but there's some complications to the comparisons. Odin banished Hela a long time before Hela faced Thor. Hela was said to draw power from Asgard: it is possible that Asgard was a less powerful place when Odin banished her: it is possible Odin banished her before Asgard reached its full power. Hela then faced Thor at a time when you could argue that Hela was at her strongest but Thor was not. He was still learning what his true nature was, as evidenced by the spirit of Odin having to remind him he's not the God of Hammers. Odin tells Thor he is in fact stronger than Odin. That might just be a parent's encouragement, or it might hint at the notion that Odin believes Thor has the potential to *become* stronger than Odin was. I think Thor is stronger at the end of Infinity War than he was at the end of Thor Ragnarok.
I'd say that the evidence in the movies is that Odin was the strongest of them at his most powerful, Hela was the second most powerful at her most powerful, and Thor was the third most powerful at his most powerful but we also haven't seen him as powerful as he will ever be yet, as his power seems to be continuing to grow with each movie and for someone that is an heir to Odin he's practically still a child compared to Odin and Hela.

Everyone dies. When good Vikings died they went to Valhalla to prepare for Ragnarok... the final battle in which they knew they were going to lose and the universe would be plunged into eternal darkness. Must come from living in continual ice and snow lol

Asgardians become stronger as they age too
That was my thought as well.
