Installing Drivers

I'm I not right in saying that when performing a clean install you should make sure the drivers for any device in the Device Manager is downloaded before going through the normal procedure which is Chipset,Video,Audio,modem Network, and Programs etc? This is for Windows Vista Home Premium.
Or would you follow the order I stated and then include any other drivers that may not be installed and also update?

For me after a fresh install of any os, I install chipset drivers. Ide/sata
first, then video agp/pci-e. After that I really dont care what the order
is.
