3/8ths of an inch isn't that much, follow what the greenhouse

If I put down some gravel first, would this be the order of installation?

1. gravel
2. weed barrier (to keep sand from running into gravel) 3. sand
4. pavers

Thanks.

Putting sand on top of the weed barrier certainly won't deter weeds.
Whatever weeds there are will surely take root in the sand.

Forget the weed barrier.

Put down 3-4" of sand. Level the sand. Soak the sand good with water so
it settles. Put pavers on top of sand. I would but pavers up to one
another and not worry about filling the cracks. Whatever water you may
have will find its own way through the cracks.

One problem you should watch for is ants and other burrowers which may
undermine your handiwork. I've reworked patios "damaged" by ants.
