Check the order of substituents. Alphabethic order. Smaller numbers.

all alkyl substituents so the rule is "lower number at first point of difference"  - start with one substituent as #1, then the lowest second number.

list them alphabetically (but prefixes like "iso" don't count for alphabetizing)

I would not use ISO. Better is 1-Methyl- ethyl- instead Isopropyl-

highest substituent priority gets lowest number.
