Well, I don't think the order of bleeding would cause this - I don't see how it could, but it might give you spongy brakes. Do you have ABS? Any luck so far?
I think something expanding (air?) in the brake line or piston could cause the brakes to compress on the one side.

Good Luck and I hope you get this figured out very quickly. Driving this as a DD with brake problems? That's one of few problems that will make me park my brick and take a bike/bus/friend's-car/cab for a few days until I fix it. I don't know if any of those are options, but it sounds unsafe to drive with shaking steering, pulling to one side, and brakes that might wind up with boiled fluid and not functioning.

Take care and be safe.
