From the meaning of the question, we know that this problem can be solved by classification.

① Rank A first, and there are four results; Ranked b again, there are three results; Rank c again, there are two results;

E and A have two kinds of results, and the last line D has two kinds of results, 4×3×2×2×2=96 kinds of results * * *.

② Rank A first, and there are four results; Ranked b again, there are three results; Rank c again, there are two results;

E is the same as C. The last line D has three results, and 4×3×2×3=72 results are in * *.

According to the classification, addition principle knows that * * * has 96+72= 168 results.

So the answer is: 168.
