what i am going to say most will tell you i am wrong. but, as a professional, doing this for 45 +years....
i bleed master cyl first and closest whl next, etc. you are pushing (purging) air thru the system so why would you do the rear and work to the frt?
assuming you don't have a pressurized brake bleeder, and are using the pedal method, do
not pump the pedal.
instead your helper should crack the bleeder, you push the pedal down once and hold, your helper closes the bleeder, you release the pedal (and count to 5 slowly so the mstr cyl has time to draw in new fluid). repeat until clear, go to the next one. try it, it's faster and easier
btw a buick engineer turned me on to this method a very long time ago
