The order usually reflects the interviewer's format or time management, not a hidden signal about your candidacy.

Firms and individual interviewers can structure the same interview differently. The evaluation still considers the required dimensions even if the sequence changes.

One interviewer may open with fit to build rapport, while another may start with the case and save personal questions for the end.

Prepare to switch between fit and case at any point. Focus on the question in front of you rather than interpreting the order.

Order varies by interviewer. I wouldn't read into it.

Mine did case first too and I still passed.

Prepare to switch gears either way.

I actually prefer case first.

No hidden message in the order from what I've seen.
