The general approach: When multiple brake calipers are fed from a common outpipe at the Master Cylinder, bleed them in order of longest fluid path to shortest.
On modern Volvos, the Left wheels and Right wheels have their own dedicated circuits at the Master Cylinder -- this gives redundancy should one side spring a leak, the other side will work long enough to bring the car to a stop.
Therefore, you can do the Left and Right side in any order, but should bleed rear pistons before fronts.
