I'm adding a transmission cooler starting today but also absolutely intend to add AC in the hopefully near future.

Basically, what order do I mount them?
AC condenser in front then transmission cooler then radiator?

Little confused about the order....any pics with all 3?

All my cars have had ac, so I just mount the trans cooler in front. I have mounted them many different ways depending on what was available to mount on.

Although a lot of folks don’t like them, I have used the zip tie like things you push through the radiator fins with no issue.
 
If possible, I would try to mount tranny cooler elsewhere. It doesn't need a lot of airflow. Mount to the side or under the car.
 
I have A/C and I decided to keep my transmission cooler out of the air flow into the condenser and radiator.

I instrumented the oil in and out lines and even in stop and go traffic the cooler is cooling around 5 degf and driving it cools the fluid around 20-30 degrees

As long as you get the trans cooler fins in the correct orientation as the radiators and the a/c condenser you should be fine.
