If you are thinking of man in relation to Adam being made before Eve then the answer would be this:

Firstly, it must be understood that both the man and the woman were creations of God and both in His image and so equal before God in that respect. They were equally accountable and equally responsible and equally able to relate to God.

Secondly, it is understood in the ancient usage that what comes first has priority in terms of authority and leadership. This is reflected in the importance, for example, of the first-born. In the light of the first point it must be remembered that authority and leadership do not necessarily have in biblical terms the negative connotation they have taken on in recent times.

Thirdly, it must also be recognized that Adam was incomplete without the woman. She is thus clearly in the biblical account 'the completer not the competer.' Man was alone without her. Also, although it is written in a way which describes and explains the process from a human perspective, it is also clear that God must have already known the necessity for woman to be created and always planned it that way. The demonstration of man's incompleteness without the woman was shown by man's

incompatibility with the animals and his lack of corresponsdence with them. Onlt the woman was good enough. This elevates her rather than downgrades her.

Fourthly, the demonstration of man's incompleteness without the woman shows that in God's eyes it is not just 'a man's world'. Humanity, to be fully what it is made to be needs both male and femele. Or to put it differently, man equals male and female. Man is thus not really a free-agent to act and think as he likes without reference to anyone else.

Summary:

Although the making of the man first implies, as is stated as well, a position of leadership by right of being first, it also implies a number of other things which are connected with it.

By harmonising the two creation accounts, man was created last:On day 1 God separated the light from the darkness and said it was good.

On day 2 God created the heavens and the earth and said it was good.

On day 3 God created all plants and said it was good.

On day 4 God created the sun, moons, planets, and stars and said it was good.

On day 5 God created the birds of the air and the fish in the sea (both male and female) and said it was good.

On day 6 God created the animals that crawl on the ground (male an female) and he also created man from the dust of the earth in his own image. Adam (the man) was lonely, so while he was sleeping God took one of his ribs and created women and said it was good.

On day 7 God rested and saw what he had done and said, "It was good."

Not in the first creation story (Genesis 1:1-2:4a). In this account, God made man (both male and female) last, and then he rested.
But there is a second creation account in Genesis, beginning at verse 2:4b (the second sentence of 2:4). In this account, the land was pre-existing and a spring (KJV 'mist') arose, without any apparent direction from God, and watered the earth. God then took the dust of the ground and made Adam; afterwards god planted the garden and made all the creatures and finally Eve. So, yes, in this account, God made man first and a woman last.

It appears from this story that God planted the garden and made the creatures to keep company for his first creation, Adam. Then, because Adam could not find a helpmeet among the animals, God created Eve. So, God's real purpose was to create Adam. The other creations came afterwards because Adam needed company.

God only created man first in the second creation account of Genesis (2:4b-2:25). He then created plants, animals and finally Eve. In this account, he does not seem to have realised that Adam would need a female companion.

In the first creation account (Genesis 1:1-2:4a, the first sentence of verse 2:4), God created the plants and animals first, then created man and woman together, in the one last act of creation (1:27).

God created man last because man is the pinnacle of Creation.

Note that according to tradition, there is only one Genesis creation-narrative, with ch.2 serving as an expansion of the brevity of ch.1, not a contradictory timeline (Rashi commentary, Gen. 2:8).

While Judaism has always seen the Torah as an intricate tapestry that nonetheless had one Divine source, some modern authors such as Wellhausen (the father of modern Biblical-criticism, 1844-1918) have suggested artificially chopping up the narrative and attributing it to various authors, despite the Torah's explicit statement as to its provenance (Exodus 24:12, Deuteronomy 31:24).

No fragments have ever been found that would support his Documentary Hypothesis, which remains nothing more than an arbitrary claim:See:
