Default S2 brake bleed procedure?

I know this has been covered in many posts, and I am not new to bleeding brakes, but the question I have is about the double bleed valve on each caliper. I haven't read any where that says which one to do first? I am guessing it doesn't really matter? Also when you bleed the second valve on the caliper, does it really take that much to bleed it? I would think it's just a quick pump to get the remaining old fluid out of the caliper.

I've always bled the outside bleeder first, then the inside one.

Ok, that's what I thought, and that's what I have been doing.

It really doesn't make any difference whether you start with the inner or outer bleed scrrew. One caution however.... do not over tighten the bleeder screw as you cinch them up. they only need to be slightly snugged. No crank on them. You can easily strip the caliper threads.
