Here is the caliper bleeding sequence

1 Left Rear
2 Left Front upper/top single nipple
3 Right Front upper/top single nipple
4 Right Rear
5 Right Front Lower/bottom 2 nipples
6 Left Front Lower/bottom 2 nipples

Also get an EZ Bleeder ($30) and change the fluid for new DOT 4 and bleeed until you see 3-4 inches of new clear/bubble free fluid out of the hose at the caliper...let the fluid sit for a day ofr so before use to allow the bubbles inside the can to rise and pop...I've had a few problems with using fluid that was shaken up before use...
