I'm thinking the first three will be Cassandra, Varric, and Solas, fulfilling the roles needed to get through the world. The only reason we'll get Solas early is probably because he's teaching the Inquisitor about the mark on his/her hand and the Breach. Besides them, I'm not too sure. It will most likely depend on who you go for first. Maybe...
Iron Bull
Vivienne
Sera
Blackwall
Cole
Dorian
Interesting question. I think the order of some of them depends on quests but:
Cassandra and Leliana are shown in the trailer coming to question you. Leliana I suspect goes off to rally the fledgling inquisition, leaving Cass with you.
Varric is met soon afterwards and he says it's raining demons.
Solas must be the first mage as he shows you how to use the hand.
People arriving before reaching Skyhold:
Dorian
Cole
Cullen
People arriving after Skyhold:
Iron Bull seeks you out at Skyhold.
Vivienne invites you to a ball in your honour in Orlais.
Josephine? Assuming she had to travel from Antiva it would take her a few weeks to reach you.
Unknown time of quests so far, but likely to be in/around Orlais:
Blackwall.
Sera
Sounds about right since Solas reason for joining the Inquisitor is to study the Fade and the Inquisitor's power is strongly linked to what he is studying.
Josephine may join before the arrival of the Skyhold as the NPC that introduce the Inquisitor to the place since the developers said we won't obtain the Skyhold until the Inquisition is fully formed after the 1st part of the DAI.
Dorian and Cole appears to be in Village of haven in the trailer when they meet the Inquisitor and it seems we may meet them once we encounter two of the enemy Factions in DAI for the first time with Dorian introduced when Venatori assault Village of Haven and Cole for when the Red Templars assault the Village of Haven.
Cassandra and Varric (I think they're traveling together so they probably join you at about the same time.)
Solas (I believe he will be our first mage.)
Sera
Blackwall
Dorian
Iron Bull
Cole
Vivienne
I don't think we will get Vivienne right away, and the same goes for Iron Bull. I'm not so sure about Cole. I had Sera in his place at first, but then I realized that'd mean getting our two female companions dead last, and I don't think BioWare would do that so I swapped them. lol.
Are we really sure that Solas is teaching the Quisi how to close the rifts?
I don't think Vivienne would wait so long to join the Inquisition, either. My guess is that Dorian is the last mage to be recruited, not Viv.
A lot of people putting Dorian last. Is there a reason for that?
I think we get Solas early.

This. I don't know why people are putting him last. He explains to us one of the major factions (Venatori) in the game and mentions their association with the Elder One (main antagonist). I imagine someone with that kind of invaluable knowledge will be an early recruitable companion.
Possibly because he's associated with the Big Bad and that's probably revealed a little later on in the game.
Whatever. Save the best for last, I guess.
Dorian may not be the last companion, but I think he'll be the last mage... maybe.
1. Vivienne was in the early promotion material, why would they promote a companion that you get "late" in the game?
2. IF Solas is teaching the Quisi, he should join the inquisition pretty early on. I guess.
I don't think the order will be set I think it'll be more like ME2 where you could choose the order that you go each squad member, but you still had to wait for certain events before you could get all of them. For example I think we'll probably first see Sera in Orlais and we can choose to either recruit her before or after Vivienne's ball.
I am thinking about Morrigan's appearance and the possibility to recruit her as a "secret" as Loghain could in DAO.
I just hope we get them all fairly early on.
If there's one gripe I have with Awakening (and to a lesser extent, Origin), it's that it's very sad to go through the majority (or even a third) of the game without a companion. Any companion. Because I know I'm going to love them.
The same's true in Mass Effect, actually. TALI. COME ON. LET'S GO. I CAN'T TEAM DEXTRO WITHOUT YOU GIRL.
