Why is Notebook-level evaluation sometimes done in the wrong order?

Here is a very simple notebook containing three cells. When it is evaluated (via menu Evaluation/Evaluate Notebook) the first time the result of the third cell is incorrect. But if it is evaluated again, then the result is correct. See the two screenshots attached (done on Raspberry Pi 3 running Wolfram Mathematica 11.2.0):

Ah.... I understand now! Thank you very much for the explanation. Yes, now everything makes sense! :)

If I didn't jump to the conclusion that this is specific to evaluation in the notebook, i.e. if I tried to reproduce it in the terminal-based wolfram session, then everything would have become clear.
