Pelting for oneself before pelting for the sick person
Question
If a person is appointed by someone who is sick to pelt on their behalf, then how should he pelt? Should he first pelt for himself or for the person who appointed him to pelt on their behalf?
Answer
The preferred method is that the one appointed should first pelt all the Jamaraat for himself, and thereafter pelt for the sick person who appointed him.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

والأولى أن يرمي السبعة أولا عن نفسه ثم عن غيره (شرح)، لكن الظاهر أنه في يوم النحر وأما في أيام الثلاثة فالأولى أن يرمي الجمار الثلاث عن نفسه أولا ثم عن غيره، لئلا تفوته الموالاة فالأولى إسقاط قوله السبعة (غنية الناسك صـ 188)
