The sentences given below, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a number. Decide on the most logical order and enter the sequence of numbers in the space provided.

1. By contrast, in America, it is estimated that even after post-COVID decline, total giving came to almost USD 500 billion in 2022.
2. There are no comparable data on different countries. But one report by Dasra, a Mumbai-based NGO, estimates total private giving in India came to about USD 13 billion in 2022.
3. A strategic sort of giving, involving philanthropy professionals, a long-term lens, and big ambitions of transforming society is gradually emerging. It differs, of course, between countries.
4. Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, put total giving in China at USD 21 billion in 2020.
5. By any measure, however, organised philanthropy across Asia is on a much smaller scale than in the West.

On the first reading of the sentences provided, it can be understood that the paragraph talks about the recent emergence of philanthropy, termed as 'giving' in this context. Sentence 3 introduces this topic, which is expanded upon in the remaining sentences and is likely the opening sentence. 

Sentence 1 writes 'by contrast' and requires data that contrasts with the American statistics on philanthropy, and cannot follow sentence 3 without more context. Sentence 5 writes 'however... philanthropy across Asia is on a much smaller scale than in the West', which is similar to what is discussed in sentence 3 ('It differs, of course, between countries'). Since sentences 5 and 3 discuss the same thing but sentence 5 uses the word 'however', implying a contrast rather than a similarity, sentence 5 cannot follow sentence 3. 

This leaves two choices: either sentence 2 or sentence 4 follows sentence 3. Sentence 2 writes 'there are no comparable data... but', this is a justification of why, even though there is an absence of data, comparisons (that are mentioned in sentence 3) can still be made. Sentence 2, therefore, likely follows sentence 3.

Sentences 1 and 4 discuss America and China, respectively, while sentence 5 draws the comparison between Asia and the West. All the data around Asia (that is, India and China) should therefore be grouped together, while the data around the West (America) can then follow. Sentences 2 and 4 are likely a pair, followed by sentence 1. 3241 is the opening sequence, followed by sentence 5, which serves as the conclusion. The correct answer, therefore, is 32415.
