Default brake bleeding.

I'm fairly new to working on corvette's and everyone is mentioning this "weird brake bleeding order" I just installed 4 new calipers and a new master cylinder. I filled the cylinder with dot 3 and bench bled it prior to installing it in the car. i filled it up again and am now ready to bleed the brake calipers themselves. What is the proper order? Is there anything weird about bleeding corvette brakes or can I just bleed like a normal car? Thanks, Mike

Good luck.
