Should I sand and paint the baseboards first before priming and painting the walls, or should I prime and paint the walls first and then paint the baseboards?

I’m in the middle of sanding my baseboards, and then I need to prime the walls before painting them. Should I paint the baseboards first, then prime and paint the walls? Or should I sand the baseboards, prime the walls, paint the baseboards, and then paint the walls?
Start with the baseboards.
You have the flexibility to do it in any sequence. Personally, I usually save the final touch of costing baseboards for last as it helps me achieve a cleaner cut line.
