yes, I think you're right. The Order of Precedence quotes "dukes, marquesses, earls, viscounts, barons".

Surely a Baroness could get below a Baronet?

There are five ranks:- Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron. I don't think gender plays a role. Baronet is not a rank of the peerage. ( Source Whitaker's Almanack )
