As mentioned by David, dielectric constants is the measure of polarity of solvents. You may also refer the Eluotrope Series for knowing the order of polarity of various organic solvents. As per the series, solvents are arranged here-under in the order of increasing polarity (Top to Down):
N- Hexane
Petroleum Ether
Cyclohexane
Carbon tetrachloride
Trichloroethane
Toluene
Benzene
Dichloromethane
Chloroform
Diethyl ether
Ethyl acetate
Acetone
N-Propanol
Ethanol
Methanol
Water
Pyridine
