Moisturer should go first. It has direct contact with your skin and moisture it or keep it moist. Apply suncreen on top of it, after your skin has absorbed the moisturizer, to protect your skin from the sun-rays.
There are some skincare products on the market that is SPF XX(number) moisturizer. They are good too, but not as good as you apply separately, scientifically speaking.
When you select SPF XX the number XX should be just right for your skin type (dark, fair, etc) and occation (day, sunny, cloudy). A too high a number XX means you apply too much chemicals on your face for the protection you don't need.

These answers are correct. Moisturize your face first, and apply your sunscreen 20 minutes before sun exposure. Don't forget your neck and ears. If you will continue to be out in the sun, no matter what, reapply every 2 hours. You can try an oil-free face spray so you won't disturb makeup.
Shisiedo cosmetics has a full line of beauty products dedicated to sun protection. There are also other items you can try in drugstores that don't cost as much.
About 80% of skin aging is due to sun exposure, and casual sun exposure causes some common types of skin cancer, so it's great to protect yourself.
Good luck!

Grab a sunscreen with built-in moisturizer! There are plenty of brands out there. Otherwise - everyone else is right: moisturize first.

Moisturizer should be applied first, then wait at least five minutes for your skin to absorb, then follow with sunscreen.

I use a moisturizer that contains SPF 30. I don't need multiple products.
