Ability scores2. Everything else, in sequences that will probably change with each new character and what your focus is at the time.Why?  Because while you might have an idea ahead of time as to what you want to play, there's no way of knowing if you can pull it off (or, in earlier editions, whether you've made the pre-req's) until you see what the dice give you to work with.If you're using point-buy or array it'll more likely be1a. Class1b. Species2. Ability scores3. Everything else.If background affects your initial ability scores then it becomes 1c in that list; and the 1x's can be in any order.</blockquote>
