Always bleed the farthest wheel cylinder first. Then move to the next closest.

Per the manual, Hydrovac slave cylinder, Hydrovac valve, Left rear rear wheel cylinder, Left rear front wheel cylinder, Left front wheel cylinder, Right rear rear wheel cylinder, Right rear front wheel cylinder, Right front wheel cylinder, then re-bleed the Hydrovac slave and valve. See manual page here.
For most rwd vehicles, either single or dual master cylinder, the general rule of thimb is to bleed the longest line first, not neccessarily the wheel furthest away from the master cylinder.
