Partition first
Format second
Because each new partition must be formatted before you can use it.

Partition first, then format. If a drive is not partitioned first, it won't be able to be formatted, so it should be a no-brainer for you.

You partition first because otherwise, you will just have to reformat each individual partition again if you format first...
