The first thing you have to understand is that there isn't a preset order in which you do adjustments to the car. No one is going to be able to give you a checklist that you go down to adjust stuff on any given car. There are simply too many (millions, and millions) of variables involving tires, track surface, driving style, layout, temperature, etc,etc,etc to give you a correct order in which to do changes on a chassis, or to tell you what to adjust and on what end of the car. Learning what small adjustments do, and making either a mental note of it or writing down and learning your own understandings are crucial to figuring out your car. Two people can do the same adjustment and feel something different on account of different driving styles and preferences, so it's up to the individual to understand what they have, what they want, and having an understanding of what they can do to make a change. Sure, a setup guide or outside source is a great way to get an idea on what to try to find what you are looking for, but it's just that, a guide.
