Just put up lining paper and the finish paper I got is paste the wall type.

I get paste the wall paste.

It's still gluing the same two substances together. I don't see why it makes a difference to which you apply it first.

As an experiment I tried pasting the wall instead of the paper, with ordinary paper and paste. No difference in the eventual stuckness.

The advantage of pasting the paper shows up when the walls are anything
less than perfectly flat: after a good soak, the paper has just enough
stretch to enable nice, even, butt joints and to mould around external
corners (only by half an inch or so, of course).
