Default bleeding wilwood calipers

We are at the point now of bleeding the brakes and clutch. The Willwood calipers on the rear have four bleeders on each caliper and the fronts have two on each. Is there an order that we should know about?
Probably a dumb question that I will call Willwood in the AM and get answered.

John,
Bleed them like any other system over the years. Bleed from the farthest and the highest ports first. When you can bleed the inside and the outside half of each caliper then do the bleeders on the top.

Ya know... think like an air bubble and think where would you hide. I like to let them gravity bleed when possible. Have fun John.

Only use the upper bleeders. The lower bleeders on the rear make it possible to mount the caliper on either side. Then do like Jeff said.

If you have dual master cylinders, Tilton Racing recommends bleeding right side/left side rather than front/back.

Glad ya got her done John.

Roscoe.... the front/ back or L / R bleed thing, is that when you use your 2 master cylinders for 1 left and 1 right operation or plumbed for front and back but bleed left and then right ?
