For example I have three brothers and I want to refer to them. Should I say "my first older brother", "my second older brother" and "my third older bother"?
I think it's a little problematic and vague. What's the best way to refer to them?
Thanks.
 
My eldest brother, my middle brother and my youngest brother.
 
It's an inexact area of English- I had three older brothers and it's tricky to describe the youngest of three older than me. It's a time for gesticulation IMO.
