Markdown, then Smartypants. If you run Smartypants first, it'll  
convert characters like quotes to curly ones in link definitions and  
code samples, and the result won't be processed correctly by the  
Markdown filter. Smartypants wants HTML-formatted input, not Markdown- 
formatted input.

This is documented in the PHP Markdown Readme:
