Resume Question - Should you always list the most recent experience first?

Under your "experiences" in the resume section, should you always list the most recent experience first? Is it acceptable to list the most relevant/important stuff first, even if it's not the most recent? Thanks.

If you list the relevant/important stuff first, you can divide the "experience" section into two parts: "relevant experience" and "other work experience".
