Huh? Granted, there seems to be earth before sun, but it looks to me like: heaven and earth, light and dark, sky, land, then vegetation.
Third day: land vegetation (v11-12). Fourth day: sun and moon and stars (v14-18 - note that, by a neat trick, evening and morning were already rocking around before the invention of the sun). Fifth day: aquatic life and flying birds (v20-22). Sixth day: land animals (v24-5), then humanity (v26-30; we needed more in the way of operating instructions).
The stuff on the first and second day doesn't include living things, and therefore doesn't have much bearing on the evolutionary time sequence. Neither does the creation of the sun and moon, of course, but since he got started on plants the day before I included them.
land animals (v24-5), then humanity (v26-30; we needed more in the way of operating instructions).
We're the ones responsible for programming the TiVo. It takes some training.
Do the two different accounts of creation in Genesis agree on this?

Kangaroos TiVo their young! In times of drought, they can hold onto a fertilised egg and pause its development until times are better. They lack the rewind function, though.
How about skipping commercials? That'd come in handy for, say, adolescence.
How did sun get created after plants? Isn't photosynthesis essential for plant growth?

The second account starts off life with Adam, and then we get plants, land animals, birds, and then Eve. No mention of aquatic life. The Bible does state that there were no plants on earth when Adam was created, so that's contradictory, but thereafter all the creation is in the Garden of Eden. Whether or not that's contradictory depends on whether you think Eden got first dibs on Faunapalooza.
And I think you need to check tense too, because it also notes that God put Adam in this garden he'd made, i.e. Eden. It's not clear from my reading whether he is supposed to have made Adam, then Eden, then plonked Adam therein, or if he set up the biodome before getting to work on Mr Ribs.
In a nutshell, different literary devices, thus integrating the stories is a bit malleable.

Hey, he's God. Maybe he just created them all as seeds or something and kept the Earth warm in a giant blankie overnight. Maybe there was a cut scene with Pantomime God warning the plants not to germinate when his back was turned, and the Angels have to keep shouting at him to turn around.

He created Adam and just had him float around in the Holy Spacesuit until He finished Eden....
I had an amazingly uneventful flight that arrived early. Hertz gold had my car ready and it even has satellite radio and neverlost and I'm not being charged for them. Seattle traffic has even been nice to me.
