I think with a scramble the best strategy is to start with the closest one. You don't know where you're going after the scrambles are completed, so going to the farthest and working your way back only helps if the next task is closer to the first scramble task. Sounds like it didn't matter in this one, with the next task being in the opposite direction. But without knowing that ahead of time, you could end up back-tracking a lot.
