Default 97 Accord SE proper bleed order?

Hello every one, I just bought a 97 Accord SE sedan.
I'm trying to fix the brakes for now, but I'm confused about the proper bleeding sequence.
The 94 manual says RR, FL, RL, FR. This seems weird, usually you're supposed to start with the wheels farthest to the MC.
My car does not have ABS, and it's a F22B2 automatic.
Thank you!

PS. Did anyone have problems gravity bleedind a non-ABS 94-97 Accord?

that's the correct sequence.

I recently learned a method if you bleed your brakes solo, on the bleed valved uses Teflon tape to stop air from getting sucked in while pumping the pedal to purge out air.

The end results were very good.

You shouldn't have any issues with gravity bleeding as long as you don't let the MC run out of brake fluid.

The brake circuit isn't front to back, it's kitty corner. One circuit operates FL & RR, the other FR & LR. Every other car I've owned it's always been RR,LR and RF, LF. My car has ABS but I doubt it's different for a non ABS.

Thanks guys, you are right.
I looked and there are 2 manifolds after the MC, the top one with FL and probably RR and the lower one with FR and probably RL.
Or it might be a double body manifold I'm not sure.
Unfortunately that's where my leak is.
I can't seem to find that(those) manifold(s) or proportioning valve whatever it is in the manual. It looks like it's a PITA to get to it.

edit: Manual says it's a dual proportioning valve.
