piano tuning method

[micheal lipnicki]

just wondering what others do? After setting your bearings do you tune all 
the way up and then do the bass?
This is what I usually do, then for a change I'll do the bass before the 
treble - if pitch was close I haven't noticed any difference.
Is there any reason to tune treble/bass first?
