As per the factory service manual you want to bleed the rear right, front left, rear left, and front right tires, in that order.

You always do from furthest away from tank to closest, so Rear Right, Rear Left, Front Right, Front Left is correct.

Default 06 service manual says...

Bleeding Brake System NFS0000A
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 right bleed valve.
3. Fully depress brake pedal 4 to 5 times.
4. With the brake pedal depressed, loosen the bleed valve to let the air out, and then tighten it immediately.
5. Repeat steps 3, 4 until no more air comes out.
6. Tighten the bleed valve to the specified torque. Refer to BR-27, "Components" (Front) and BR-40, "Components"
(Rear).
7. In steps 2 to 6 below, with the master cylinder reservoir tank filled at least half way, bleed air from the front
left, rear left, and front right tires, in that order.

except when the FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL instructs you to do it in a different order.
