My Orders
For us we started with poop since it's messier and has signs like when my daughter (2.5 years old then) made poopy faces, we'd put her on the toilet. (I prefer potty seat on adult toilet to kids' potty so there's less cleanup).
The first time, I remember she had a panicked look on her face and kept saying "mama! poopoo! mama! poopoo!" --- I guess it was a super strange sensation for her to feel poop going out into thin air as opposed to getting warm in her diaper. I just reassured her and said "yes poopoo is coming out good job!"
Eventually she got used to going in the toilet and found it strange to poo in her diaper; so that's how we potty trained her for number two.
Peeing is a little harder but just takes patience; and if it doesn't work the first time around, pause for a few weeks or even months then try again.
Karen Katz' "A Potty for Me" was my daughter's favorite book when we were potty training her.
