When casting a spell as a bonus action, you can't cast another spell on the same turn except a 1-action cantrip – can the order be "reversed"? Can you cast a cantrip first as a bonus action, then any other spell? If not, would it be broken to allow it?
I'm thinking a Sorcerer casting a Quickened true strike, then casting a leveled spell requiring a touch attack. Seems like a great use of the cantrip + Metamagic feature, but it seems like it is not allowed.

No, the order doesn't matter
You cannot cast another spell if you've cast a bonus action spell, and you can't cast a bonus action spell if you've already cast a spell with your action.
That precludes both before or after the action spell.
