Work dilemma: case of who should go first-the slow one or the fast one?

I’ve been working at my newish job for the past 3 months now, and so far it’s been alright. The team involves only 2 ppl: me and my elderly coworker. Since the beginning we’ve had some issues getting along as we are two incredibly different ppl with two very different working styles.

Since the beginning we’ve had some issues getting along as we are two incredibly different ppl with two very different working styles.
Getting to the point, every Friday we have a deadline to meet where we have to submit forms to another department. The deadline has been missed quite often as there is always something happening that somehow delays the process.
Today we both got talked to about this continuous problem and it’s quite embarrassing as it’s something within our control and should not be happening. The plan was for her (the slower one) to send out her docs FIRST, followed by in 2nd. Keep in mind we can’t do it at the same time as we have clients to work in between.

To try to get a smoother process where we both meet this deadline in time, I think I should go first and then her because I’m a lot faster and that can give her more time, but do you guys suggest the slower one should go first or last?
