Neither. You can get sedimentary rocks that are older than igneous rocks, or igneous that are older the sedimentary rocks. However, igneous rocks are formed from magma within the earth's crust, or as it extrudes onto the surface, while sedimentary rocks are formed from the erosion and redeposition of existing rocks, so generally in the life cycle of a rock the igneous form would come first.
