Flushing break fluid, what order?

Going to flush out the old break fluid and put in new Honda break fluid. But what order do I bleed the breaks. Do I start in the rear say right rear then left rear? I most likely will manually do this with 2 people as I don't have any vacuum pump to pull the fluid out. Unless there's a cheap one I could buy.

2008 Fit sport.

I remember it being front driver side, then clockwise (front passenger side, rear passenger side, rear driver side).

Any idea on how many bottles of honda break fluid is needed. I went to dealer today and bought 2 but thinking I may need at least 3 bottles. There about 12 ounces in size about the size of a can of pop.

I recommend using brake fluid instead of "break fluid" beer is a good fluid for breaks

I flushed the clutch and all the brakes and just barely got by with 2 cans. I recommend buying three and see if you can make do with two. As long as you don't open the third can, it'll be good for years to come
