Default Cam caps reinstallation sequence

I need to replace the crankcase oil seals and cam chain tensioner gasket on my 2000 A4 2.8 ATQ. I know the correct sequence for removing the cam caps, however i am unsure as to the sequence to put them back. Do i put them back in reverse order from that of removal or do i need to put them back in the same order as i removed them, e.g if say caps removal sequence was 1-2-3-4, should installation be 4-3-2-1 or 1-2-3-4?

Thanks Old Dog. Turns out only my rear camshaft seals were leaking. According to Bently, i will only need to remove the double bearing cap to change the seal.
