    Vishnu(Brahman) created Rudra (not Shiva) and Shiva(Brahman) created Narayana( may be called as lesser vishnu). Shiva purana explicitly mentions Shiva as Brahman and Rudra aka Shankara as amsa of him.

Vishnu,Shiva and Brahma are form of Brahman. They are not different. Once Rishi Markandeya told Parvati's parents King Himavan and Menavati the story of Brahma,Vishnu and Shiva. In the story,Himavan and Menavati found that Brahma,Vishnu and Shiva are same.

According to Srimad Bhagavatam written by A.C Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada, Lord Brahma came from navel of supreme personality of God head Sri Maha Vishnu . Lord brahma created the four kumaraya & told them to take responsibility of the procreation of the universe. They did not obey him. So Lord Brahma Ji got angry & from his eye brows came a baby crying. That is Lord Rudra. ( Lord Shiva )
He is the Lord of destruction. Lord Vishnu is the maintainer.
