Hi Saurabh,

Salesforce does not support or guarantee the order of execution of workflow rules.
The same is true for workflow actions, the order in which individual actions and types of actions are executed is not guaranteed. However, field update actions are executed first, followed by other actions.

Also Salesforce do not guarantee that the execution of individual workflows would be the same the next time the workflow and actions are triggered.

Hope this helps you.
