The general rule is to fit the parts with the lowest Z-height first (i.e. the flat ones, that stick out the least). This means if you flip the PCB over to solder on the underside, you won't have a tall component preventing the board from lying flat and causing the component you are currently trying to solder to fall out of its hole. A suggested order is:

* All surface mount components

* All surface mount components (including U401, which may not have been presoldered in your kit)

* Short-circuit JP1201 *or* JP1201

* If you have a DS1307 short JP1201 to give it 5V

* If you have an MCP7940, short JP1202 to give it 3.3V

* Any 2.54mm pin headers and jumpers

* Don't worry about J906, J907 and J908 - they're just for debugging/testing/probing
5858
* Ensure you leave out pin 8 on the J802 PC case audio connector, as most cases have a blank position on the mating connector to make sure you can't put it in backwards. Pin 8 is the top row, one in from the right; if you look carefully it's the only pad on that 10-way header that doesn't have a PCB trace running to it.
