rears first,i use a syringe if its totally empty(ie new hoses),make sure all the air is sucked out,takes time but pulls the fluid through and no air in system,then ill do the other rear,then the fronts,
i then go back and fit my pipe bleeder ,make sure its filled with fluid ,submerge it in some fluid at the bearing end on the pipe,and pump a good few times till the pressure starts ,then the other rear,then the two fronts.bingo!
make sure the rears are under load and not jacked up tho,for the load valves,otherwise the rears will lock up before the fronts

I use a pressure bleeder, costs about £15 and for the time and grief it saved its already payed for itself, do the whole car from a complete brake system upgrade which was dry in about 10 mins
