Refundable and Nonrefundable Tax Credit

How are refundable and nonrefundable tax credits applied to your tax liability if together they exceed your tax liability. 

 

For example, let's say my tax liability is $5000 and I have a $6000 refundable credit and $3000 nonrefundable credit.  Is the nonrefundable tax credit applied first, lowering tax liability to $2000, and then I would receive a refund of $4000?  Or, is the refundable credit applied first, and then I wouldn't receive the non refundable credit?

 

Thanks
