Here is a Maple resolution of the circuit. You can see that fundamentally, it is a "4th" order filter. However, one can note that the zero and one pole are approximately at the some place. So, it is "really" a 3rd order filter. [![enter image description here][1]][1] Here is the result when c3 & c2 are only 4.7 pF.
