IUPAC naming of 1,2-disubstituted cyclohexane derivative
Simple prefixes (simple substituent groups such as methyl and isopropyl) are arranged alphabetically disregarding any multiplicative prefixes. Any multiplicative prefixes are inserted later and do not alter the alphabetical order.
For example, ‘methyl’ is considered to begin with ‘m’; ‘isopropyl’ is considered to begin with ‘i’.

On this matter, the current version of Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry – IUPAC Recommendations and Preferred Names 2013 (Blue Book) reads as follows:


  P-14.5 ALPHANUMERICAL ORDER
  
  Alphanumerical order has been commonly called ‘alphabetical order’. As these ordering principles do involve ordering both letters and numbers, in a strict sense, it is best called ‘alphanumerical order’ in order to convey the message that both letters and numbers are involved
  
  Alphanumerical order is used to establish the order of citation of detachable substituent prefixes (not the detachable saturation prefixes, hydro and dehydro), and the numbering of a chain, ring, or ring system when a choice is possible.
  
  (…)
  
  P-14.5.1 Simple prefixes (i.e., those describing atoms and unsubstituted substituents) are arranged alphabetically; multiplicative prefixes, if necessary, are then inserted and do not alter the alphabetical order already established.


Thus, the correct alphanumerical order in your example corresponds to the name x-isopropyl-y-methylcyclohexane.

Furthermore,


  P-14.4 NUMBERING
  
  When several structural features appear in cyclic and acyclic compounds, low locants are assigned to them in the following decreasing order of seniority:
  
  (…)
  
  (f) detachable alphabetized prefixes, all considered together in a series of increasing numerical order;
  
  (g) lowest locants for the substituent cited first as a prefix in the name;
  
  (…)


Note that Rule f takes precedence over Rule g; however, Rule f does not permit a decision to be reached between ‘1-isopropyl-2-methylcyclohexane’ and ‘2-isopropyl-1-methylcyclohexane’ since both names correspond to the locant set ‘1,2’.

According to Rule g, your example is named as 1-isopropyl-2-methylcyclohexane rather than 2-isopropyl-1-methylcyclohexane since isopropyl is cited first as a prefix in the name.

Note, however, that the prefix ‘isopropyl’ is retained for use in general nomenclature but the preferred IUPAC name is ‘propan-2-yl’.

Therefore, the preferred IUPAC name for your example is actually 1-methyl-2-(propan-2-yl)cyclohexane because ‘methyl’ is cited first in the name (since alphabetical order is used to establish the order of citation of substituent prefixes in the name).
