Alignments, swap rear and fronts first? 850

I believe I need an alignment badly. I have all the
typical symtoms. My two front tires are fairly worn
(one with slight abnormal wear) but they are the same
brand/model. My two rear tires look nearly brand new
with great deep tread, the only problem is that they
are different makes.

Should I:
1) Its better to have the same model tire (be it worn>
and go in for the alignment

2) Swap the tires before alignment.

3) Doesnt matter. Swap them later if I want, alignment
doesnt have bearing on this (Is this the case? kind of
ignorant to this part of cars)

I know... Youll probably say get new tires but I got to save
up for cv replacement. I got to cut some corners in order
to survive. So anywho... What is the conventional thinking on
this.

Thanks,
Jon
