In the first place
I've seen many sentences that end with "in the first place" which obviously do not have anything to do with being first or something. Could anyone explain this with some examples. Thank You for your time.

It means at the start , in the beginning, when you first made the choice, when you had the opportunity, before this happened, etc. Here are some examples. Mark, you said she made a huge mistake in the first place.
