Why I need to put Link tag for google fonts stylesheet after Normalize.css link tag ?

As discussed in video, why I need to put Link tag for google fonts stylesheet after Normalize.css link tag ? I tried putting it before & it worked.

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Rakkas" rel="stylesheet"/> <link href="css/normalize.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

whenever you link another style sheet and make changes within that style sheet, it will override anything previous. Normalize would go first, or a reset CSS file because this is the foundation for your site. Anything to follow now will make changes to that site. For Font files, I wouldn't worry so much as to the order outside of making sure normalize is on top. But, you will have your regular CSS file, likely called main.css which as long as it's below Normalize shouldn't effect your font files.
