MG MGA - Servo installed/bleeding brakes

I have nearly finished installing a servo unit in my 1960 A (placed behind the RH front splash panel as per Jeff Becker on Barney's site). I have also done an overhaul on the front discs. My question is, what is the order for bleeding the brakes. I guess that the servo will need bleeding first, then the rears, and finally the front. Any advice please.

Why put a servo on an mga? You should be able to lock em up without it.

I started at the rear brakes and finished at the front right. It took two of us to do it and since I used Dot 5, I took my time and did it slowly as not to get air bubbles. Fred, the advantage is easier pushing of the brake pedal and more comfort. If your brakes are bad, this won't help lock up the brakes. Good luck Gary.
