Farthest awau from the master cylinder first, then work your way closer.
So rear right, rear left, front right, front left.

Lots of tricks & tips on the site do a search.

I believe you bleed that during the rear brake bleeding....

fluid comes through the prop valve.

I bleed 1/2 quart through each caliper, then let it sit and bleed a 1/4 quart through each caliper. I use the pressure bleeder. Speedbleeders are WELL worth the cost. Also search for trekkor's thread on using a 10' clear hose to recycle clean fluid.
