Default brake fluid bleeding sequence

The manual says start from left front brake. But most of DIY instruction says start from rear passenger side, is there difference if i follow service manual?

You can't really go wrong following the service manual. When I get a chance I can check my book too.

Usually it need to be started from most far caliper. If there are two independent circuit - no matter which circuit you will start (best from you have working on), but still from most far caliper.
