There is no hierarchy except maybe the khalif has a Shaykh ul Islam...anyway credibility is given when their views have better proof than others, not their title, and it depends on the subject a Mufti will not specialise on Sufism his expertise is Fqh (or jurisprudence).

Maybe the faqih and the muhaddith will out rank a sufi shaykh who is not an alim.

Mufti, Alim, Hafiz, Mawlana, Faqih, Muhadith, Mujaddid, Wali, Imam, Pir, Sheikh.

Which title gives greatest credibility of opinions in descending order

What are the differences amongst them?

Please add Islamic titles which are missing in the response.
