Maimonides
Not to separate from the produce the heave-offerings (given to the priest), before the first-fruits, nor the first tithe before the heave-offering, nor the second tithe before the first tithe (Levites’ dues); but the separation should proceed in the due order; first-fruits at the beginning, then the great heave-offering, then the first tithe, and last the second tithe, as it is said, “Thou shalt not delay the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors” (Ex. 22:28); that is to say, not to defer the offering which should be brought earlier.
