I highly doubt there are set "orders of importance". Cambridge will look at each application, and take everything into account. You will find people with deficiences in different areas and still got offers. Anything people tell you on here will be guesses - Cambridge doesn't say which factors are the most important.

In my PERSONAL opinion, I would say grades/BMAT are where you can do most to excel. If you do very well in those, then you can get away with a not so impressive interview (like what I did). However, you can get in without amazing grades/BMAT of course - I just feel those are the best ways to try to give yourself an advantage.
