Possible to do it? Yes.
Valid if done first? Only after all other ordinances are completed.
Should it be done? Only in certain situations such as when presented with the sealing ordinance through Ordinances Ready or when doing a sealing session at the temple and completing names provided by the temple. And as explained below.
What are we instructed to do when we are preparing our family names for the temple? To quote https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/correct-order-of-temple-ordinances, "Please perform temple ordinances in the correct sequence. Perform individual ordinances before sealings." With the only qualifier given as "Whenever possible, parents should be sealed to each other before the children are sealed to the parents."
To illustrate with an example similar to ones given on these boards several times in the past by FamilySearch personnel and by Ron Tanner in a couple of his live Q & A sessions, if we have a family consisting of a husband with whom we share a direct ancestor, his wife with whom we do not share a direct ancestor, and their children, we are instructed to complete all BCIE in that order for all of them, then seal the couple, and then seal the children to the parents.
If we have information on the husband's parents, we should complete the individual ordinances and couple sealing for the husband's parents before we seal him to his parents.
However, since the wife's parents are not our responsibility because we do not share a direct ancestor with her, we are not to do any ordinances for her parents, but we are allowed to seal her to her parents so that all her ordinances are completed.

I'm just another user here, not a moderator or missionary so no titles, please, but a user who has seen this question asked so many times, read the help articles sufficiently, and heard Ron Tanner discuss it half a dozen times, that I am sure of the answer.
