No, the general rule is should always put experience first no matter what if you are a mid career with working experience.

Trying to put your academic certs up first is usually a red flag for hirers because many people with a problematic career path (eg. job hopping, demotion etc.) always like to put their certs up first.

Maybe not fair to genuine people who have a good academic cert, but this is hiring reality.
