Also just makes the zipper easier to operate in general.
button first, both closing and opening.
Button first. Makes it easier to zip.
Button -> Zipper
I leave them both open for ventilation.
I leave them open to assert dominance.
Tuck in undershirt, button, buckle belt. Do things for a couple hours. Wife tells me my pants are unzipped again
I usually button the button and immediately forget to zip the fly. Hours later after I've been in public all day I'll notice that the fly is unzipped and try to zip it without anyone noticing.
So you want us to show you our arseholes while you're showing everybody your peehole? You are a master of business.
Reminds me of the story of the guy who was told his fly was down, so turned 180° from the people he was with to fix the issue, as is expected. Except in this case, he previously had his back to a much larger group of people (think cliques at a party), so basically zipped up in front of way more people than he would have done if he hadn't turned around.
Button first, zipper if I can be bothered ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hey your Kuhstall steht open
Zip, then button
Button first, then zipper, then put on pants.

Zipper.
If they are loose enough sometimes I do the zipper first, otherwise I do the button first to make the zipping easier.
Zipper then button. Button first feels weird to me
That's a good question for which I don't know the answer, even though I do it quite often. 🤯
Depends how tight my pants are
Wow. I am in the minority here, but zipper first! Hold the button and button hole together in one hand, zip up, and then button! Always!
Vinage 501s so I button my button first then button my zipper.
