What was the name of the eldest son of our master Noah, peace be upon him?

We have not come across the chronological order of Noah's sons by age. However, it is probable that it follows the order of their names as mentioned by historians: Sam, Ham, and Japheth. Noah also had a fourth son named Yam or Canaan, who was an disbeliever and drowned with the disbelievers. Knowing the chronological order of Noah's sons does not entail any religious ruling or action.
