Question

When a mixture of sugar and common salt has to be separated using simple crystallisation we use ethanol as a suitable solvent; at 75°C sugar is soluble in suitable solvent and NaCl is not, so it's sugar which crystallises out. Then why does the less soluble substance crystallise out first in fractional crystallisation ?
