Default need a brake line bleeding order

I have gotten too many different line order suggestions that my head is spinning now. as agravating as bleeding is, i dont feel up to trying all of the orders ive heard.
its a 92 Civic DX model. please dont reply to me with the order on your own car if it ISNT a 92 civic dx model, or if your guessing. i think ive had enough of that for one day!

right rear, left rear, right front, then left front. it doesn't matter what kind of car it is, unless it's right hand drive. you start with whatever one is farthest away from the master cylinder and work your way closer with each one you do.

also, maybe you should buy a manual for your 92 CIVIC DX

i do it opposite, i start with the closest, so i'm not flushing all the old fluid remaining in the resoivoir back into the rear lines. Flush it out of the closest lines, you have fresh fluid in the resovoir that now goes to the rears. Then I flush the rears. Sometimes I'll go do a quick rebleed on the front. It's worked for me so far. Same thing when I replace the master cylinder, start with the front lines to get any remaining air in the m/c out sooner instead of pushing all the way through the rear lines.

Maybe had to bleed it differently because of ABS.

yea, he should buy a manual so he can recieve the RIGHT information.

The image that byronl posted is how honda recommends bleeding on an eg

HOWEVER, even though I couldn't resist the chance to point that out, I have bled in the "traditional" manner like heretic mentions and it worked as well.

i never stated that was the proper way for HIS car . i told him how i do it. thats how i was trained to do it. i've always done it that way on all cars and never had any problems, ever. either way he needs to buy a manual for his car, then he wouldn't have to ask questions such as this. "chrisw85" says start with the front so you don't flush all the old fluid through the lines, before i start i get all the old fluid out of the resevoir first and fill it with fresh fluid before i even start bleeding them. i don't think any certain way is wrong or right as long as it gets all the air out of the lines.
