Default Bleeding brakes

So in reading forum for weeks now, I recall some discussion on brake bleeding i.e. "normal" = start at furthest from brake cylinder, etc. Others said Jag says start at left front. Here is a bit of info I ran into inadvertently looking at a YouTube video of bleeding brakes by Chris Fixx. He mentioned as an aside in his video the "normal" passenger side rear first method (LH drive of course), but that some cars including his X Jaguar, that with ABS system, the furthest line actually ends up being the driver's side front.

This may account for the confusion by some.

I recently redid the brake lines and hoses all the way around. Closest to furthest right around the car, RF, RR, LR, LF. The ABS pump being at the upper right makes a big difference difference. In reality, all of the lines are actually pretty close in overall length individually.
