When bleeding brakes you should always start at the caliper furthest away from the master cylinder. Start with rear passenger side, rthen the ear drivers side, front passengers side, front drivers side. Also you may want to check the fluid level and if the m/c cap is tight enough, this will cause air to enter the system and may be what's causing your pedal to fade.

According to the Service manual, you'll want to start with the Driver's Side rear.

Bleeding Brake System AFS000U0
CAUTION:
While bleeding, pay attention to master cylinder fluid level.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to the rear left air bleeder.
3. Fully depress brake pedal 4 to 5 times.
4. With the brake pedal depressed, loosen the air bleeder to let the air out, and then tighten it immediately.
5. Repeat steps 3, 4 until no more air comes out.
6. Tighten the air bleeder to the specified torque. Refer to BR-25, "Components" ,BR-31, "Component" ,BR-
38, "Components" ,BR-44, "Components" .
7. In steps 2 to 6 below, with the master cylinder reservoir tank filled at least half way, bleed air from the front
right, rear right, and front left tires, in that order.
