Default recommended brake bleeding order

i did some research but it seemed like there were couple different answers..


and a quick noob question:
what's a gravity bleed? i've only done attaching the hose to the valve and pumping the pedal method.. it seeems like the gravity method is superior? or something?

gravity bleed apparently is when you open the top of the reservoir and then open a bleeder valve and let it just flow out. it takes long but is supposed to work better than the pumping method. it didnt work for me, i just used the pumping method.

I have always done the farthest to the closest to the MC order since I started working on cars, never had an issue.

And greatest brake tool ever, mines Snap On but still, these are the bomb for brakes/clutches.
