Which new computer science course to do first?

There are two new computer science courses: “Algorithms: Sorting and Searching” and “Introduction to Data Structures”. I’ve done the first few videos of both, and there seems to be an overlap. Is one the prerequisite for the other? One more general and the other more specific? What is the relationship here?

"Algorithms: Sorting and Searching" is in my opinion a little harder than "Introduction to Data Structures". I took the data structures one before the sorting and searching one, but either way is fine. Neither of them are prerequisites to the other.
