That's the proper order (furthest away first, nearest last), but it can be difficult to know what the true line lengths are due to convoluted routing through the ABS block, etc.

Also, sometimes the ABS block itself has bleeders (for example, the SVX) that need to be dealt with somewhere in the order (in the case of the SVX, you bleed them first). And other cars need a special tool or programmer or something to cycle the ABS pump during brake bleeding if you really need/want to get all the air/old fluid out of the system.

But like Dean said... if you just bleed most the fluid out of the system at all 4 corners in any order, the pedal will probably be much better. It's not a racecar after all.
