How should I list my degrees and credentials in my title?

Is there are formal method for what the order is for listing your degrees and credentials. For example, if I have lets say a PhD, MBA, MA, and two professional credentials, how do I determine the order to list them? Does Carnegie or another association have a formal method? If so, where is it listed? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

1. I figured someone with a PhD would know the answer to this question.
2. Technically, if you have a Ph.D, you need not list the lower degrees unless they are drastically different than the Ph.D. For example, MBA, Ph.D in Physics Otherwise, you should just list the highest that you have. DO NOT put AA or AS unless they are the highest you have. They are not impressive.
3. I've only seen people list credentials if they had at least a PhD, MD, JD, or DDS. Listing master's degrees or bachelors degrees tends to make you look as though you're both bragging about what you accomplished and also didn't accomplish as much as you should have.
