I do ceiling first and butt up to it as tight as u Nun with walls.

Should always board ceiling first, you sometimes find first ceiling joist (upstairs) can be a fair distance from wall, so ceiling boards need "propping up" with the boards on the walls.

If ime doing metal stud and MF ceiling i do the walls first as i find it is easier to fix the angle trim through the boards into the stud, other than that ceilings first.
