That`s how I do it except I like to put the bass right after the kit.
If there are several vocals, I like to put them to the right of the 
master section - just my little quirk.

Another thing I sometimes do, if there is a channel or two which might 
need watching or maybe the fader riding, I swap the fader knob(s) for 
ones of a different colour just to give me a quick visual.
