The rule of thumb I've always used is to start with the wheel furthest from the fluid tank and work your way to the wheel nearest the tank. This is usually means starting at nearside-rear, then offside rear, nearside front and finally offside front (assuming tank is on driver's side of engine bay).

Always use fresh fluid, and start by pumping it through the system until the new fluid appear at the rear wheels.

Is this enough help?
