An example of a less advanced field of Physics than quantum mechanics would be Newtonian mechanics, such as is taught to college freshmen and sophomores. At least it seemed a lot easier to me.

There are people doing very advanced and difficult things in classical mechanics, even if they aren't the problems or topics that show up in a freshman physics course. There are also trivially easy quantum mechanics courses out there, so even if you are going to rank fields of physics by how "advanced" they are, I don't think going off the order they're taught to undergrads is reasonable.

That isn't a field of physics that's a high school textbook.
