The order usually depends on the orchestra. Usually, when there are only strings, the low strings would tune first, and then the upper strings. When there is a full orchestra, it's usually woodwinds and brass, then low strings, then upper strings. Some orchestras have the lower strings tune first, then the upper strings, then the woodwinds and brass. Some orchestras only tune there A's first, then they tune the other strings. The reason why is because it is easier to tune when there are not as many people tuning at the same time.
