I want to study 3 subjects on my own,the subjects are Group Theory, tensor analysis, and QFT.
I know this might be a silly question, but regardless of what textbook material i have or how much I know, what is the best order to study these 3 subjects ?
I feel I should leave QFT to the last, Group Theory then tensor analysis and finally QFT.
Or should I combine them together, any advice?

I'd start with Group Theory. Then while doing Group Theory, I would just forget about what I should learn next and just do some Group Theory. When you're halfway through a Group Theory textbook, then think about where you should spin off to.
