Tube Rolling - What Order To Change Tubes?

Let's keep this simple. You purchase a new Amp (Integrated) and run it for 100 hours with the stock tubes. You then get the itch to do some tube rolling.

What tubes do you roll first and how do this affect the other tubes in the system let alone the overall sound?

Power Tubes
Rectifers
Pre Amp Tubes

What order and why?

Eg. I have a Cary SLI-80 F1 Signature

4 KT88s
2 5U4G Rectifiers
2 6SN7s
2 6922s

Which tube makes the most sonic impact on an Amp?

Will this change to the most important tube(s) have dramatic effects on the other tube changes as I work my way down the line?

Not to mention, when in this order does one look at a Power Cord?
