To solve the problem, we need to first convert the Roman numerals into their decimal equivalents and then arrange them in ascending order.

Here are the conversions:

CXIX = 100 + 10 + 9 = 119
XCIX = 90 + 9 = 99
CXXI = 100 + 10 + 1 = 111
CIX = 100 + 9 = 109
CXX = 100 + 10 = 110
Now, let's arrange these numbers in ascending order:

99, 111, 109, 110, 119

Thus, the Roman numerals in ascending order are:

XCIX, CXX, CIX, CXXI, CXIX.
