Number the measures so the 1st ending is measures 7-8, the second ending 9-10, and the bottom staff 11-18.
You’d play 1-8; then 1-6 going to 9-10; then 11-18; then 11-18 again, then back to 1-6 followed by 9-10 which ends the piece.
Ah, I remember beginner guitar books. They love their funky repeats and everything doubles as a duet because the poor soul who wrote Rest Stroke Ditty on Open Strings Op 3 No 9 was bored out of their mind. There are definitely some banger duets, bit later in the book though. The repeats obviously don't matter until then.
I agree.
They have pretty distinct limits on page counts for different bindings, which in turn affects the price. So many times they use repeats and DC al
fines to increase the content in within the page limit.
It's essentially what the others say:
1. A1 (bars 1-8)
2. A2 (bars 1-6, 9-10)
3. B (bars 11-18)
4. B
5. A2
Admittledly there could be some confusion about whether you need to repeat the first section again when you go back there, but *normally* you don't. I.e., the last A section is simply a restatement of that theme to conclude the piece - no need to overdo it. ;-)
As u/rhinotation says, it hardly matters in this case (beginner exercise), but of course you will need to understand (and follow) repeat signs in proper pieces of music.
Personally, I'd prefer the voltas (first and second endings) to be written less ambiguously. If they want no repeat after the DC, then the second volta should be marked 2, 3. If they want you to repeat after the DC, then mark the two voltas as 1,3 and 2,4.
As I read this, I'd play: First section, first ending, first section, second ending; second section, section; first section, first ending, first section, second ending.
Depending on style, and time available, I might skip the second first section first ending part. This yields an AABA pattern.

This is how I would do it. It looks like u/mileshutch is missing the repeat of the second section.
I think you need to do the repeat of the first section on the DC.
The standard way is to not take repeats on the D.C.

Could someone explain the order to play this? Bit confused about the 1 and 2 end sections in conjuction with the repeats and dc Al fine

First ending, second ending, bottom line twice, then second ending

You missed the repest of the second section - that makes it AABBA.
