The proper way is to start with the right rear, then the left rear, then right front, then left front.
I just start at the right front and then work my way around to the drivers side.

Like spike said you start with the wheel farthest away from the master cylinder/abs modulator and then work you way to the closest.

Also, bleed each wheel as many times as it takes to get clear fluid coming out, usually 2 Quarts of DOT 4 will be required.
