If that's the case, you'd want to play Xenogears last, seeing as how it takes place a long time after both of the Xenosaga episodes released so far. If Xenogears were somehow given a spot in the Xenosaga timeline, it'd probably take place around Episode 5.

You're not likely to see much resemblance between Xenogears and the later Xenosaga episodes, so Xenogears isn't really a prerequisite. That's not to say you shouldn't play it or anything.

I didn't get to finish Episode II, because my PS2 broke, but that seemed like the case.
