In theory you could do it either way round... but I do the white first then the orange. Orange is darker than white, so it will cover white OK, whilst getting a good solid white over orange would be harder. You would tend to see a different white where it was covering the orange overspray. Does this make sense?

In general start lightest, and work to darket colors.

By rule we should always paint form the lighter do the darkest color.
First the white then the orange.
