blessing - Leishev Basukkah before Shehechiyanu or after?


According to my minhag: on the first night of Sukkos by Kiddush, Leishev Basukkah [לישב בסכה] is said before the bracha of Shehechiyanu [שהחינו]. On the second night, however, Shehechiyanu is said before Leishev Basukkah.


According to other minhagim: Leishev Basukkah is always said first.


So what's up with that? Why should one be said before the other? Which should normally be said first? And why the switch for me?
