what What is first  ? vedanāVedanā (feeling) or saññā (perception)?

Do we feel because we perceive? Or Dodo we perceive because we feel?

As per mahā-vedallasutta(MN43)

Yaṁ vedeti taṁ sañjānāti, yaṁ sañjānāti taṁ vijānāti.
so vedanā ->sañjānāti> sañjānāti ->vijānāti> vijānāti

But shouldn't this order seemsbe in reverse.?

becauseBecause first, we cognise  (vijānāti), then recognise  (sañjānāti) and then we feel. isnt, isn't it. so? Goenka also confirms this sequence. vijānāti->sañjānāti->vedeti.

Or is there a different between Viññanā viññanā and vijānāti as well saññā and sañjānāti  ?

Nibbedhikasutta(AN 6.63) says

Phassa is nidānasambhavo for vedanā/saññā/sankhārā.

as if vedanā, saññā and sankhārā co-arise. but are they independent of each other?

Note: (Adding comments of @blue_ego)

consider this question as non sequential. When I say first it means second is dependent on first.

Take any meditation practice. we just practice to change perception, and feeling changes accordingly. but vice versa is not true.
