I've ALWAYS done cardio after lifting, and have it on the advice of several professional trainers to do so. Though personally if I do cardio before lifting I don't have the get up and go to really push my sets.
The reason why most trainers advise you to do cardio after lifting is that cardio really tears down the muscle and eats up alot of protien/fat/electrolytes. The general rule they've given me is 6 hours min between cardio and lifting again. You need to re-hydrate and re-fuel.
