In my experience, there appears to be no required order in the line and it should all work the same. If you want to "do it by the book" I don't suppose you could go far wrong using the order the w3c uses in the css reference( http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_reference.asp )...I suppose it's all a matter of coding style really. Incidently, one area where order does matter is in the selectors of the "a" tags, specifically a:link, a:hover and a:visited should stay in that order.
