"Grand Theft Aero" or "Kingdom Come"? Which one did came first?

I want to discuss a subject about GTA 3 that really interests me. As you know, Catalina discovers that Claude's alive during mission Grand Theft Aero. During mission Kingdom Come, she sets Claude up with the spanked up madmen. My question is: in your opinion, which one of these missions comes first canonically? I personally think that Grand Theft Aero came first because it makes more sense from a "plot" perspective. Problem is, you can do Kingdom Come mission even before the other one, and that's why I have doubts. Maybe it was an oversight by Rockstar, but I don't know.

And, by the way, sorry if a topic like this already exists. I haven't found it, so I assume that there's no other topic talking about that.

As far as the canon goes, it would make sense for Grand Theft Aero to come first followed by Kingdom Come. The fact that Kingdom Come is a side mission makes it difficult to ensure the player will complete it in the correct order.

 

You could even complete the mission after you've killed Catalina, which makes the mission a bit more interesting. Catalina can still mess with you from the grave.

From a gameplay perspective it may even be preferable to complete Kingdom Come after Grand Theft Aero, continuity be damned. The Yardies will start attacking you after that, so it might be helpful to do it that way around - not that they're especially difficult to deal with (bats and 9MMs), especially compared to the Cartel with their AK-47s and Uzis.
