You should use eg AssumeTFF() if necessary, as AssumeBFF() is the default.
Almost always TFF in PAL land, when interlaced, if PAL BFF interlaced, then problably done in error.

If cropped off part contains valid image, then may be useful to crop later and so
have a bit more image to use during deinterlace, however I would mostly crop first.
I'm not saying that Mounir is wrong, but perhaps he/she can give a reason for crop last.

EDIT: As your crop is left only (not top nor bottom) I dont see it making much difference,
although if crop first, then must comply with vertictal interlaced cropping restrictions due to
colorspace (chroma granularity) and interlacing. [ie multiples of 4 where interlaced YV12]
If cropping first makes you lose some image due to crop restrictions on interlaced,
might then be better to crop last. (So I would say not a concrete rule either way).
