When shutting down the whole farm environment with two nodes in Failover Cluster/AG, my thinking is to shutdown secondary first and then primary. When bringing up, start with primary and then the secondary.
What I noted was when the secondary was brought up first and then the primary, the databases synced and AG dashboard showed healthy. Also, the former primary still retained the primary role. However, the quorum disk used to be visible on primary node before but now it is visible on secondary. Does it make a difference as to where the quorum disk shows visible?

It doesn't matter were the quorum disk resides. It should be independent of the other resources in the cluster.
