The Chinese food conundrum

I eat all my greasy food first when we go to the Chinese buffet, then afterwards eat sushi and egg drop soup. Craig starts with the soup and sushi and moves to the heavier stuff. In my mind, it's like the rocks and sand in the jar metaphor. It's a lot easier to put the rocks in a jar first then pour the sand in because it will fill in the spaces. But if you do it the other way around with pouring the sand in first, the rocks will just sit on top of it and you can't fit as much. 

Does this make sense? Do you eat your Chinese food in any particular order?
