If you have the ABS system it would seem that the longest distance would be from the master cylinder though the abs to the Drivers rear, passenger rear, driver front, passenger front. I followed this order and all was ok.
In my humble opinion. No disrespect intended

wrong!
I just filled and bled my system last night, so I'm fresh off doing this. The correct order, for ABS equipped cars is right rear, left rear, left front, right front.
If you've got multi-piston calipers, bleed the outer cylinders first, followed by the inner.
from page BR7 of the TSRM "begin bleeding air from brake or wheel cylinder with longest hydraulic line"
next comment: "repeat for each wheel". It is safe to assume you'd want to bleed the cylinder with the next longest line.
If you look at the lines, the brake tube to the back travels down the left side of the car, making the rear right the furthest.
Next furthest is the rear left.
The front left line goes from the ABS cylinder back over the trans tunnel, making it the next longst
The front right line goes from the ABS cylinder directly into the wheel well, making it the shortest.
Happy now?
