I tend to do it like this:
Firstly I have the body element.
Then I have basic link styles.
Then I have standard html elements (h1-6, p, ul, that sort of thing).
Then I move into specifics (ids, classes, that sort of thing).
When using descendant selectors, I try to indent in order to show the cascade, eg:
#content {
colour: #FFCCFF;
}
#content h1 {
color: #CCFFCC;
}
#content h1 span {
color: #CCFFFF;
}
#content h2 {
color: #FFFFCC;
}
Cheers,
Olly.
