I apologise if this poll has been done before.
I also appreciate that some people will consider Substance to be a best of/compilation album but have decided to include it since most of the tracks had not previously featured on an album.
By the way, Substance was my first purchase.
Brotherhood - my brother bought it for me at the Navy PX, even though the title suggested communism....

How the heck does that suggest communism?
PCL was first, then movement, had to wait about a year before lowlife came out, that was a long wait for a young man eager to hear more NO, now everything seems like a long wait for a middle aged man clinging to memories of youth!
Movement, though I opted for the U.S issue first (gotta boost those domestic sales, y'know).
Low Life, which also happens to be the first cd I bought. Brotherhood was still a few months from release.
Them were the days when a weekly visit to the record shop would very likely be rewarded with some new New Order product.
I know I bought Singles first, but as for the albums in the poll...I bought all of them fairly quickly after Singles, but the first was likely WFTSC.
PCL back in '88 when i was a wean of 13 and doing a paper round 
as soon as I saw the cover I knew it was New Order, I had previously "borrowed" Low Life and Brotherhood several times from Uncly John.
Movement, strangely enough. Then PC&L in 1983, and so on. The only one I bought out of sequence was International, which I didn't buy until late 2006 and only then because I was surprised to see it in a bargain bin.
PCL-albeit with a bit of money blagged off me Dad(He thought the music was OK-really loved and still loves the cover). With my own money it was Brotherhood.
Power,Corruption & Lies,followed by Factus 81-82 about 2hrs later when i realised it wasn't the one with Temptation on.
SUBSTANCE in september 1989. I' ve just discovered New Order one month earlier in the summer holidays at my cousin house with a homemade tape. There were on it: Kiss Of Death, Shellshock, Thieve Like Us and a selection of Technique tracks. Kiss Of Death really amazed me ! and I still prefer Kiss Of Death as TPK. During the following months I bought Low-Life and Technique...
I bought Brotherhood from Woolies, after playing it for a week I notice that the FAC number was different on the vinyl as to the sleeve. They had put it into the sleeve of Low-Life. I went back the following week and bought Low-Life and the cover for Brotherhood!!!
