The very edges of the ceiling drywall will rest on the wall drywall.
Makes a much cleaner joint if the ceiling goes up first.

Do the ceiling first, makes for a much better finish at the corners of wall to ceiling.

Rule of thumb...work down. That way, when you drop something while putting the ceiling in, there is no wall to damage...thus no repair to be made...my Dad was a builder, and that's what the way he did, but that doesn't mean it's the only way.

it would work either way since you will finish the edges when its all done. do all ceiling or all the walls not half ceiling and half walls.
walls are easier than the ceiling though so do those first maybe.

Yes, that is the way I do drywall. The reason is so I don't damage the wall when hanging the celling.

You usually put it on the walls first, then on the ceilings.

yes you can but its not a good idea
the walls hold up the edge of the sheetrock in the ceiling
i would also suggest using screws not nails
they hold better and dont cause as much damage as nails do
because you have to be careful nailing in sheetrock as to not break the paper on the sheet rock if you break it it wont hold very good
