Default Tiling around door frame

I am going to be installing both a new door and tile in a bathroom and
need some advice on the order of installation.

Should the tile go in first and the Jam and door trimmed to fit the
new floor level

or should the the door jam go in first and tile up to the jam

My concern with the putting the jam in first is movement in the wood
and having the grout crack as a result of the wood movement

thanks
