Congratulations on your certification!

The normal progression from Developer Associate would be to DevOps Engineer Professional https://d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs/AWS_certification_paths.pdf

it is quite a jump from Developer Associate to Solution Architect Professional, if that is your ultimate target then it might be wiser to consider the Solution Architect Associate as an interim - that will give you a better grounding in the material that is covered in greater depth in Solution Architect Professional.

It very much depends on the path you can see your career taking, and the skillset and knowledge that will be required in the kinds of position you see yourself applying for in the future.

Answer

Hello.

It doesn't matter which test you take first.  
In the case of Dev Ops Professional, it is a higher qualification than Developer Associate and SysOps Associate, so if you have knowledge of these, you can use the knowledge you have learned by taking this exam first.  
Solution Architect Professional requires similar knowledge, but requires more in-depth knowledge of design, service specifications, and best practices.
