What is the best ride order for early entry. I figured everyone will go to Maverick first, so would it be better to hit other rides before maverick?

The early entry rides are Maverick, Raptor, Millennium Force, and Skyhawk. Every once in a while there will be a substitute, but thats pretty much been the lineup all year.

Go with Maverick first since the capacity is terrible. Next go with Millenium Force since the cable lift system takes a while to get back down to the station causing lines to get long. After MF the general public will probably be in the park so ride in the back of the park since everyone rides the rides at the front of the park.

Maverick has thrown a monkeywrench in the whole back of the park thing. It used to be that people started in the front, now many are starting in the back because they are in line for Maverick. That's good for the park because that section and it's businesses are busy again, but the crowds have shifted to the back in the beginning. My new approach is to start in the northeast section by Magnum and work my way down that side of the park (the Hotel Breakers side). That's Magnum, Gemini and the spin and pukes, than down towards Dragster, Corkscrew, Power Tower, and so on. It would work really well if you stayed at the Breakers, because the entrance is right there. If you use early entry, my advice would be to go for Maverick right away. The lines won't be any shorter than they are at that time. Then on your way to Millennium Force, you could probably just about walk on Skyhawk if you have time. It's in the same section of the park and it's got a high capacity. If it's getting to be opening time, than go straight for Millennium Force before everyone in the front makes a dash for it. As long as you beat the regular crowd to Millennium Force, you've done alright.
