In addition to the good post from Chemistry4me: they are called "shell" for simplicity but there is not an exact correspondence with distance from the nucleus and so with order of filling.
For example, you could say, for the sake of simplicity, that a tree trunk is lower than the foliage, but actually they are someway 'mixed'.

Potassium has 19 electrons
Electronic configuration is
1st shell - 2 electrons
2nd shell - 8 electrons
3rd shell - 8 electrons
4 th shell - 1 electron
Due to its electronic configuration its consists 1 electron in its 4th shell
