Step7 ladder logic branch selection

It should be left to right, top to bottom, same as the rungs (or networks, I think Step 7 calls them) themselves.
 
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.
