start in the middle and work your way out. Changing from side to side. Start in the middle on one side, go to the SAME BOLT on the other side, and continue until you get to the end bolts. Use a TORQUE-WRENCH. I woudn't recomend "guessing." Not a smart thing to do. "BORROW" one if need be. Check what the "foot pound number is," then follow it! As I recall, (it's been years) it's somewhere around 17 for the small ones, and 25 for the four corner bolts, Check "THE BOOK." You don't start at "the front" or "the back," you start in-the-MIDDLE! Which "side" isn't what matters. What matters is proper-sequence.
