First, timewise (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earliest

(Other definitions for earliest that I've seen before include "Nearest the start of a time period" , "Next available" , "Nearest the beginning in time" , "Soonest" , "Very first in a sterile manner" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
