You always need to bleed the longest line first and then the second longest line next, etc. Otherwise you will often end up with air still in the lines and a soft pedal. Bleed plenty of fluid out since it often gets dirty and has rust and water in the cylinders. Fluid is cheap compared to the time that you spend messing around bleeding them. BTW - I have learned the hard way to make certain my reservoir is at the full mark when wheelin' I was in Moab last year with a reservoir at nearly the add level and with the steep climbs and descents I sucked in some air and got soft brakes. Not a good thing!
