Is there a specific order in which you remove the bolts from the fork and control arms so you dont m

I am doing a swap for the second time and last time I did my swap one of the shocks locked up and I was told that if you dont take off the bolts that hold the upper and lower control arms and fork in place off in a certain order than it will mess up the shock. I was wondering what order the bolts and nuts need to be taken off. Thanks.

um no, not really.

i usually just remove the bottom shock bolt, then fork pinch bolt to remove the fork. then remove the brakelines. take off the two 14mm top nuts and remove...

no big deal.
