Hello everyone. I have a question and was looking for some input. I am finishing a renovation of a large family room and i am laying approx 400 sq. ft of ceramic tile. I have finished hanging, taping and painting the new drywall. I was wondering if it would be better to tile the entire job before I install the new trim. There are a total of 5 doors to trim including a slider. My thought is that it would be easier to tile the job first and then hang the trim to prevent me from having to cut all of the tile around the door trim . It would seem that this would be a cleaner look. Is this the proper way to do this??? I usually do floors last, but in this came it seems to make more sense to trim it last. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

You are right on here. It does provide a much cleaner look, with less work having to make cuts in the tile, if you install the tile first.
*You also have less worries about what you are masking off or-alternatively- splashing grout and adhesive all over.
