They are both useful, and necessary to learn. But it is logical to learn c/c++ before ASM, as you progress from high level languages to low level languages. It is not really possible to learn a language like ASM without first gaining a fundamental understanding of computers through a higher level language like c++; and no one learns ASM before other languages. The order of learning languages I s***est would be:
Simple scripting (HTML, javascript)
More complex scripting (PHP, Perl, Python)
Programming (c, c++)
Low level programming (ASM)
Of course there are many other programming languages, but those were just examples of the order I would advise you to learn them in. But remember, you need to learn both to gain a good knowledge of computers, each is useful in different ways.
