Because the president is the most important swearing-in. It's like a smaller act coming on before the big star at a concert. The president is the one everyone is there to see, so they save that until last in the ceremony.

For purely dramatic effect. It's not about the law; it's custom. The President is the main attraction, and you always have a warm-up act first. It would be anti-climactic if the VP were sworn in last -- don't you think?

In case something happens to the President, someone will still be running the show, Nuclear Football and all.

My guess would be in case the president gets killed during his swearing in. That way the chain of command is still intact.
