SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the rule of thumb for determining the order of integration in double integrals. The consensus is to integrate in the order that simplifies the process, although the definition of "easy" varies among users. No specific techniques or methods were provided, indicating that the choice of order is subjective and dependent on the particular problem at hand.

PREREQUISITES

Is there any rule of thumb for which variable should be integrated first?, i.e. to make the whole process of double integration easier.

That is the rule of thumb - do it in the order that makes the integration easiest.
What counts as "easy" is too variable to get more specific.
