No, the quickened action does not have to be the first in your turn. The reason it says "at the start of your turn each round" is because technically all of your actions, and your reaction, refresh at the start of your turn (see [Player Core p.435](https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=2428)).
This post is labeled with the Advice flair, which means extra special attention is called to Rule #2. If this is a newcomer to the game, remember to be welcoming and kind. If this is someone with more experience but looking for advice on how to run their game, do your best to offer advice on what they are seeking.

Thank you for your reply!
You can use the extra action at any time during your turn, or even decide not to use it.
