FL Intake manifold torque sequence

I broke a bolt while tightening up the intake manifold on my 12a. I was not using a torque wrench, but I will when replacing the bolts. I found the torque numbers, 14-19 lbs. I did not find a sequence for tightening them. Is there a sequence?

Thanks.

the usual sequence is an X pattern starting in the center and working ur way out. i've never torqued intake bolts, just have to know what's tight enough without really cranking down on them.
