There is no particular order, that I know of, other than making sure
SP1a is installed first. You can order a security CD free from MS that
has all the updates through October of last year, then add the
remaining. Here is some info:

"Order the Windows XP Service Pack 1a CD"
http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsXP/pro/downloads/servicepacks/sp1/ordercd.asp

"Order the Windows Security Update CD"
http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/cd/order.asp

After using the security CD here are some recent updates:

835732 (Sasser worm patch)
837009 (OE Cumulative)
832894 (IE Cumulative)
828741 (XP Cumulative)
828028 (ASN 1)
837001 (Jet Engine)
