Although documentation of the developmental order of the remaining subordinate conjunctions is missing, the best guess scenario would be:
BECAUSE and SINCE, as they also introduce the cause in a cause-effect relationship
SO would likely seem to follow as it introduces the effect in a cause-effect relationship
ALTHOUGH, (even) THOUGH, WHEREAS, WHILE may follow next as they express the contrast between ideas
AFTER which expresses time concepts
