The program does not tell you to do the non-resident first but is the only logical thing.
First, prepare your non-resident return first. This creates your tax liability.
THEN prepare your resident state return of and it will generate a credit for your income already being taxed. The credit will be the lower of the state tax liabilities on the same income. You may owe your resident state.
It isn't possible for the program to create a credit before it knows the liability.
