It’s a matter of taste really but I’d go: Fuzzes > Boosts > General purpose ODs/Dist > “Amp-in-a-box” type pedals
Depends how they’re set as well i.e ‘Level up gain down’ into ‘level down gain up’ etc
However, the BD-2 may then remove some of the fatness from the Blue Note. So, try them both ways and see which you prefer. Since you only have the two, it won’t be too much upheaval to switch them round if necessary

Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.

Like this alot with bb as core sound and both for boosted solos
My experience with stacking is that you always have to find out what characteristics you like and you don't want to loose when stacking pedals. E.g. some combine a tubescreamer (TS) with a big muff (BM), while the TS complements the BM really well adding some mids and cutting some bass.
In your case you like the grittiness of the Bluesdriver (BD) and transparency and fatness of the Blue Note (BN).
It could well be that the grittiness of the BD gets lost when used before the BN while stacking. Same goes for the transparency of the BN when used after the BD, as the BD not being totally transparent. In that case the first suggestion would be to place the BD after the BN. Keeps grittiness and keeps transparency as long as possible in the chain.
But if the BN doesnt kill the grittiness of the BD, perhaps you could also place them vice versa and maybe the transparency of the BN helps maintaining the grittiness of the BD.
As usual, it is your ear that will be the decisive factor. But perhaps this gave you some points of view that could help you decide how to set up your chain.
Blues Driver into Blue Note - The Blue Note doesn’t smooth out the BD’s inherent ‘grit’. Just fattens things up a bit and gives you ‘more’.
Blue Note into Blues Driver - Gives a smoother cleaner sound than above (which is not what I expected).
To to be honest I’ll probably stick with the first option but both are good.
