According to an article on acmilan.com some weeks ago (it's in the Maldini thread), the order is thus:
Paolo Maldini: The 2008-09 season is the 25th in Milan's first team
Massimo Ambrosini: 2008-09, 13th season with Milan
Rino Gattuso: 2008-09, 10th season with Milan
Kakha Kaladze: 2008-09, 9th season with Milan
Christian Abbiati: 2008-09, 8th season with Milan
Nelson Dida: 2008-09, 8th season with Milan
Filippo Inzaghi: 2008-09, 8th season with Milan
Andrea Pirlo: 2008-09, 8th season with Milan
Cristian Brocchi: 2008-09, 7th season with Milan
Sandro Nesta: 2008-09, 7th season with Milan
Clarence Seedorf: 2008-09, 7th season with Milan
Ricardo Kakà : 2008-09, 6th season with Milan
I agree that Nesta probably wouldn't take the armband even if he was eligible (and Milan does seem to operate on the seniority principle, just like the Azzurri do). He's still - and will always be - a symbol of Lazio.
I don't think this is the pecking order for captaincy. it's just showing how many season they've had with Milan. I think there should more important factors to be considered.
