How to Commence Du’a

QuestionMy question is what is closer to the Sunnah: to praise Allah Ta'ala, then send salutations on the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and make du'a or to send salutations before praising Allah Ta'ala? Some people send salutations first, saying this is the practice of our elders. Please clarify.
