Personally I'd go:

1. Heading
2. Summary
3 & 4 together. Key Skills and achievements
5. Employment History
6. Education & Qualifications
7. Personal interests

Well nothing wrong with that tbh.

Kind of comes down to the employer, person who reads your cv etc. I have had to vet some CV's for new staff for interviews in my old position and personally relevant skillset/experience comes before qualifications in my opinion. But then in some occupations im sure the opposite is true. Cant go to wrong with what most people have said here though.
