I'm having trouble with my sit ups. It's very discouraging. I have 2 herniated discs (L4 and L5) which is right in the sweet spot!
I would think tho, that doing them after cardio would be best because your adrenaline is pumping!

You'll probably find you can do more after your cardio. You need to get your blood flowing to your muscles before you do resistance training (sit-ups are resistance training!) You're probably less likely to get sore or suffer an injury if you do your cardio first, as well.

Doing your sit-ups after your cardio is best. Your heart rate is pumping and you can in the long run burn calories better.
