Allways bleed from the furthest wheel from the master cylinder to the closest.If that don't work then check for a leak in the lines.

If you didn't open the system up to air, you should not have to bleed them. Make sure you have the pads in correctly, and if the rotors are not tight against the hub, you'll get a funky pedal too.
