All four brakes should engage at the same time. You probably need to bleed your front brakes. If road conditions are wet or you haven't driven the car in a while, drum brakes sometimes "grab". Many cars have rear drum brakes and front disc, this could be what you're expieriencing.

You have to adjust the rear brakes, after you adjust the rear brakes the slack will almost be gone and you'll find the brake lever will grab almost at once. The cable going to the brake lever can be adjusted with a 10mm socket, but adjust your rear brakes first, the remaining slack then will be taken out by tightening the cable.This adjustment is located under the rubber cover, covering the bottom of the brake lever.

Only the rear brakes are drum brakes. The front brakes are disc brakes. To answer your question, twist the end wing nut by your drum brake. It tightens and adjusts how much you have to press on your rear brake lever.
