Best way please of bleeding brakes on a sapph.

Seem to be various ways people keep telling me.

I always done front Passenger, Front friver, then use ABS pump on the rears with pedal half down

Is this right, how do you guys do yours

Fronts as normal without ignition on(not needed).
Rear with pump disconnected and igintion on as this opens(retracts) the ABS valve block pistons, then just as normal.
I use a pressure bleeder at 10 psi, to do mine 1 person way.
