I refer to the person whom I know longer/better...but that's just me - I don't know what ettiquette says.

I never thought about it! But I think I usually put the person I know longer in front when talking abou them.

I think when you write to them it's supposed to be the woman first. But in conversation, I usually use the person I know better (i.e my brother and SIL, my friend and her SO, etc)

I just went thru all my friends in my head and always put the person I know first or better first. And it didn't sound right the other way around.
