When installing drywall, ceiling or walls first

In my house, having to muscle the ceiling sheets up alone, I'd sometimes do the walls first, which allowed me to prop one side of the ceiling sheet on the top wall piece as I was screwing it in.

But I was young and indestructible then. If I did it today I'd rent one of those lifts. The advice to do the ceiling first makes sense to me.
