On my new st-40 kit I did the inners first then the outers.

^ Hey, I'll try that. Would you try double draining them or would that be advised against.

I believe the stop tech instructions also stated to do them one at a time(inner first then outer).

I usually do this when I'm doing another work on the car so I don't just sit for an hour.

For brake bleed procedure?

I think he starts with the one closest to the MC, then the passenger side, then passenger rear, then driver's rear. Whereas the manual has it going the other way starting with the passenger side caliper, then driver's side, then driver rear and finally passenger rear.

This car is an abnormality, typically you bleed the caliper furthest from the MC first. If you want an anal retentive trick, crack the bleeder open while you're pushing in the piston, makes bleeding quicker, makes pushing in the piston easier, but more messy overall unless you're careful.

You got that backwards. Order in first post is RF, LF, LR, RR. Unless it's a RHD car.

Will the same order work on other cars?

Only on the s2000 I am following the order of
RF, LF, LR, RR

everything else is farthest from MC first
RR,LR,FR,FL
