Our cases are cut by priority.  And we don't process breasts. (children's hospital)

I have a couple of questions to ask where there is no right or wrong answer, just curious as to the process that other labs use.
1.  After processing, how do you determine the order in which to cut and stain the blocks..numerical or priority driven?  2. Do you adhere to the 6-72 hours of fixation for breasts or make certain all breast tissue is fixed for a minimum time of, say, 24 hours but, of course no longer than 72?

I appreciate your responses and thanks for your time!!  I am retiring at the end of this year and trying to optimize some processes beforehand:).
