This order:

Paint wall space (not much of it due to mostly cabinets) Assuming above cabinets here.

Refinish or paint cabinets (I have never had anyone doing a counter top disturb the cabinets??)

Replace countertops

Replace sink - these two, counter tops and sink, basically happen simultaneously. You need your sink on the premises and ready to go when the countertops are replaced because fabricator needs model number (or access to sink, if vintage) to know what size hole to cut.

Replace backsplash (Cover your new counter tops with bubble wrap or cardboard for protection.

Potentially replace floor - always work top down in a room. Floors last, unless every square inch will be covered again with cardboard for protection. I just do them last.

Painting cabinets is expensive. I did a small kitchen last year and it was about $1100 just to paint. Spray them if you want a smooth look. We painted boxes and sprayed doors, due to the restraints in my job. Doors look better.
