Which goes first index or glossary?

Making a glossary

This is usually at the end of the document, perhaps last before the credits section, or before an index. A glossary will become a separate section in the book.

What is the difference between the glossary and the index?

A glossary is a list of words or a word list. On the other hand, an index refers to alphabetical listing of important words. This is the main difference between the two words. Glossary is usually added at the end of a chapter or a lesson in a book or a text book respectively.
