Doing some lifting before cardio is a good idea anyways... by lifting you get your muscles to consume a majority of freely available glycogen. By doing cardio after (particularly in the 65-70% heart rate range) you force your body to draw on alternative food sources, ie. fat.
Of course just doing cardio will work, but I find that lifting + cardio is more efficient... and, as always, if you're looking to lose weight, changing your diet will have far far more effect than how much exercise you do.
Good luck to ya, guido
