Default Oil pan bolt sequence

I have the torque specs for the bolt but do not have the sequence. Can anyone help me out?

I thought it would probably be in a cross pattern like a cylinder head but I thought I should make sure. THanks for your help.

It was my understanding that all pan bolts were hand tighten, then #s13 and 14 were torqued to 9lbs then the pattern you show was final torqued to 18ftlbs.

Just posted what the Chilton Manual shows. If you have docs to prove a better method, happy to change my drawing.

Oh, and I assume that everyone uses a three step torque process... it was a 5 min drawing.
