I departed ZZZ about XA:38 via a right downwind departure to the southwest and direct to ZZZ1. I climbed to 4500 ft. and began experiencing intermittent moderate turbulence; so I began a gradual descent. I was still on the ZZZ Tower frequency (although out of the class D) and Tower advised of traffic about 11 o'clock and same altitude. I advised I was descending. I had traffic on TCAS and saw traffic at about my 10 o'clock; 700 ft. above and probably 3000 ft. horizontally; and told ZZZ Tower that I had traffic in-sight. It appeared to be an experimental aircraft. I then switched ZZZ2 Approach for flight following and picked up flight following about 15 [miles] north of ZZZ1. I was told to enter a right downwind for Runway XX and then told to maintain 2000 ft.; which I did (actually closer to 2100 ft.); and was told to overfly a Cessna who was slower and would follow me in and that I was number 2 following a Learjet on final. I saw the Cessna. ZZZ1 Tower spun the Cessna to the left as I overflew him by 500 ft. as instructed. I reported the Lear in-sight and was then cleared to land behind the Learjet and started my approach. I landed on Runway XX behind the Learjet at about XA:54 and taxied to my tie-down.
A SR-22 Pilot reported overflying another aircraft while on approach to land.
