Cornwall (and Rothesay in Scotland) are the Dukedoms of the heir to the throne and thus always take precedence over other titles (except Prince of Wales, Earl of Chester).
Unless the title is a held by a royal e.g. Duke of Kent precedence is done on date of creation. My understanding is that when the present Dukes of Gloucester and Kent die then the precedence of those Dukedoms will revert to order of creation as the holder will no longer by HRH Prince, which both the holders are at the moment (HRH Prince Richard and HRH Prince Edward respectively).
