In general left to right, top to bottom is the rule, but things can get tricky when there is complex branching. I've seen cases where the bottom rung in a branch went before the top.
The easiest way to see what will happen for sure (if using a 300/400) is to look at the LAD in STL. That requires a bit more complex knowledge to parse, but STL is (ignoring jump commands) always top to bottom and linear.
