Order of a workout?

Wondering what people think

Is it better, when doing sets, to do the sets of each workout all at once then move on?
Or keep moving round each one

For example
say your doing 3 sets of push ups, sit up and pull ups
better to do 3 sets of push ups, move on to 3 sets of sit ups, then move to 3 sets of pull ups?
Or keep moving doing 1 set of each?

    "In weight training, it is recommended that beginners or untrained participants only perform one exercise per muscle group during a workout session. Overtraining deconditioned muscles can lead to extreme soreness or injury. Those individuals who are advanced in weight training can incorporate more intensive training methods such as compound sets, which involve performing two back-to-back exercises for the same muscle group, with no rest in between the exercises."
