I plan on playing a rogue/wizard in an upcoming game. We use standard array for stats. I’m kind of excited about this character and I’d really like to hear if there’s anything I should change before the game starts.

Level 1: rogue 1
Level 2: wizard 1
Level 3: wizard 2 - bladesinger (rapier focus)
Level 4: rogue 2
Level 5: rogue 3 - swashbuckler
Level 6+ will all be wizard, increasing INT with ASI’s until it’s at 20 and then increasing DEX.
Question 1: am I better off wizard at level 1? I’d lose a skill, but gain WIS proficiency to saves, which would help mitigate my average WIS?
Question 2: how is the initial leveling order?
Question 3: since I want to be more bladesinger than rogue, is a 2/X split better?
Question 4: is swashbuckler worth it? I really want booming blade (I’m not 100% sure if it’ll be allowed), and if it’s not allowed, am I better off with arcane trickster over swashbuckler (I’d switch WIS and CHA if I did this).
Question 5: should I max INT with ASI’s before DEX? Should it be the other way around? Or should I get both to 18 before deciding? Which of the two stats matters more for this character?
Thanks.
