Using a paint sprayer on the interior of a house

Looking for the order in which to spray the inside of a house with paint sprayer. Ceilings, walls, and trim/doors.

My real question is do you spray the ceiling first or last? Or do you just roll it.

Ceiling first, but you'll still have to tape off when you go to spray the walls unless you do everything the same color/sheen. In that case, you can either tape off the trim or spray everything and redo the trim. Having done a lot of interior painting, with everything imaginable, I dislike spraying on the inside unless it's a total gut and there's no floors, receptacles, etc. In that case I'm on board with spraying the ceiling and walls flat white, and then coming back later and doing the topcoat on the walls and the trim.
