In theory starting out with 5-10 minutes of light cardio to warm up your muscles and get blood flowing is best. Then some light static stretching to loosen up your ligaments. Then do your weight routine (while stretching in between sets/excerises) and then a cool down of 15-30 minutes on the cardio.
You should try to do at least 30 minutes of cardio each time you work out. Anything less than 30 minutes you don't get the benefits of it. In addition to this, its also best to work out early morning before you eat so you can burn calories.

Should you do cardio or weight training first?
No cardio before weight lifting is a bad idea. The reason for that is you want to do the hardest part and the most taxing part of training first. If you do cardio before weight lifting you are going to deplete your muscle glycogen as well as your energy and come to lifting already fatigued. Versus training when you're fresh and then finishing with cardio.
How can I get back to exercise fitness?
If you are starting to exercise after many years you need to start off slow. Whatever you do, do not over do it the first week or so. Start off with stretches. Once you feel comfortable you can move into lifting weights; start small and then work yourself up. After weights, try to end your exercise with at least 10 minutes cardio. Cardio is anything like walking, running, bike riding, etc.

The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that you do your cardio exercise before you lift weights. The mechanisms that provide energy to the working muscles during the two different types of exercise work much better when cardio is done first.
Will lifting weights with legs strengthen buckling knees?
'Light' weight lifting can help strengthen buckling knees with the aid of supplements, such as calcium and magnesium, etc. I have experienced this first hand. Starting with light weights and then moving onto heavier weights reignited my problem but no two people are the same. You can experiment with different weights.
