How do 6-day Creationists reconcile Gen 1:24-25 with Gen 2:19?

In Gen 1, the "wildlife of the earth" were created on the 6th day (Gen 1:24-25) *after* the vegetations (3rd day) and the "first couple" last. But in Gen 2, Adam was created in v. 7 *before* the "wild animal" (v. 19-20) while Adam named them, before Eve was created.
Those who use the [Framework view](https://biologos.org/series/science-and-the-bible/articles/the-framework-view-history-and-beliefs) to interpret Gen 1 doesn't have a problem because they see Gen 2:4-25 as *another* creation story that is functionally different (more in terms of man's and woman's role in creation as caretaker of Earth [symbolized as the Garden of Eden in its pre-Fall state](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/a/104562/10672)) .
But how would strict 6 day Creationists (especially those who interpret Genesis 1-12 historically) interpret the 2nd creation account where there seems to be a contradiction in the sequence of events?
