You should do in a diagonal because the car has a cross-circuit system where one chamber provides fluid for one front caliper and the opposite side rear caliper. Doing the "cross-circuits" in sequences reduces the chance of leaving air in the system.
Remember never let the master cylinder run dry and I recommend replacing the reservoir cap when applying pressure to reduce air intake and reduce moisture absorption.

Note the bleed order is RR, LF, LR and RF on 01 and newer vettes.
For 97 to 00 vettes the order is RR, LR, RF and LF.
