Front first, then back. They get down on their knees first, then shift forward on their knees and lets gravity put their rear down. They always lay with their front legs folded under and the back legs somewhat under and to the side.

No. They often roll on their backs, or lay on their sides. The problem usually occurs if they are heavily pregnant then they can find it difficult to roll over especially if they are lying out on their sides. Their lungs then get crushed by the pressure exerted by the rumen, particularly if they're lying with their head lower than the rest of their body.

No they can't, it is also a fact that they sleep lying down, plus in one way cows are like humans it depends on what they fall on and how they fall on it.
