Flywheel question

I found the torque specs for the flywheel bolts but is there a specific order in which to torque them down in? I am assuming there is like anything you torque down but just want to make sure. You know what they say when you assume something... Long story short, there were issues with the pilot bearing removal, so I dropped the flywheel to knock it out to make life easier. MAN that is one heavy s.o.b. Defiantly not looking forward to putting it back up and on. Truck is a '93 F350 with the 7.3 IDI and ZF5.

I highly recommend you use blue loctite on those and the pressure plate bolts as well
