I finished the sequence in the correct order, but i had some fluid remaining so i decided to do the back and the driver back again...clear pure fluid. I then stopped and being the idiot i am didn't proceed to double checking the front and the front passenger. So i messed up the sequence when it was completed already... any problems?

It all came out clear bubbleless fluid but now my brake pads feel spongy, is that okay? will a little air hurt the brake fluids system? Thanks guys

Air wont hurt your system but it is going to greatly effect your braking. Just go with the simple gravity bleed that way there is no chance of messing anything up. Open each bleeder screw one at a time. If you dont have time just do the fronts that will get out most of the air for the time being in a short time to make it safe and then start over from the left rear when you have time.
