For ordering statements I usually start with broad statements and then
get narrower. Then within this list I sort by html statements and then
my IDs and classes as they fall in the page from top to bottom. As for
selectors I go in this order

 positioning
display
margin 
padding
background (minus color)(image, position, repeat)
text (family, size, weight, then any extras like line height)
text color
background color

I don't know why but I like to see any color information at the end,
grouped together. Call me quirky! :)
