To ensure that the bottom case is solidly assembled, is there a strict order to put the screws back when doing a bottom case reassembly on the Macbook Air 13" (2010)?

wow, that's great! but that's the guide for the original 2008/2009 MBA, I wonder if the same order applies to the new one (2010), which has a slightly modified case design.
+ that's what I'm talking about. Could you give a link to that image?
well, since we're talking about the 2010 MacBook Air 13" model, the bottom screw assembly is on page 120 of the Technician guide. Here's the link: http://is.gd/A30Ga3
Of course, you are right. Just like you said it is page 120. Anyway, here is the complete service manual for the MacBook Air 13" late 2010.

I put the screws in loosely and then tighten them like lug nuts on a tire.

and does the bottom case sit solidly by doing so? no creaking noises from the case?
They have for me.
thanks. that's why I'm asking. maybe there is a special order to put the screws in so the bottom case would be properly aligned.

with the help of macrumors.com community, I've got the special order of putting the screws back for the MBA 2010. I have no idea how to attach an image to this comment like WiseGeek did, so here's the link to the image: http://is.gd/A30Ga3

Then why is there 3 long screws in the replacement pack if it only calls for 2?
