Doing it the other way around is just going to end up ruining the stain, meaning you have to sand the original stain off and reapply another coat, rendering that first step totally pointless.
Except in very, VERY rare cases, that applies to all woodwork. Measuring comes before cutting comes before sanding comes before staining.
