Content-type or TITLE - which should go first

Hi,

I have just talked with another webmaster about order of tags in HEAD
section.
The most important question is which of two (TITLE tag or META for
content-type) should go first.

In my opinion content type definition should be first, especially for
non-english sites (eg. East europe), to provide proper character
recognition.

BTW Does it really matters? Does spiders read the page header as a
string or DOM?
Even if they read it as a string does such a small tag (as content type
is) reduce title prominency? I could not believe that.
