I should have looked in mine first too (poor memory, y'know).

It seems (on page 19-10) that the Civic/Integra of my vintage has a
DIAGONALLY-split circuit. Correct bleed order is given as:
1) Right rear
2) Left front
3) Left rear
4) Right front

The sequence I originally gave is for a FRONT/REAR split, such as most
Toyotas.

Either way, you bleed the *longest run first*, as I originally stated.

I have no excuse for forgetting the diagonality of my brakes, as I bleed
them once every year.
