It’s supposed to be the chronological order, and I imagine the games are separate enough, with only loose connections, that it doesn’t really matter in this case.
Because really, chronological is not the best order for many stories.
One of the best known examples is Star Wars, where episodes 4-5 lose a lot of their power if you’ve seen the prequels first.
A video game example would be Beaten Kaitos Origins, which is IMO one of the best attempt at a prequel ever. It completely turns the interpretation of the first game on its head, and makes both better because of it. It would ruin the effect to play BKO first.
