Weight lifting and cardio question.

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

I go to the gym three or four times a week, and while I'm there I lift weights and get in some cardio (about a half-hour of each general activity). Normally I start with my cardio and then finish up with weight lifting, but my dad *thinks* he read an article in some men's health magazine that it's better to lift weights first and then do cardio. I have been unable to find this article or anything useful on google. Any of you know?
