In what order have you learned the different strokes?

Of the 4 main strokes, is it safe to assume most people learned the breaststroke first? It seems to me the easiest to learn and was my first. Perhaps bufferfly is the last to be learned for most people? Or maybe I'm not quite right?

    I learned the *** stroke when I first started swimming at 5 and was never taught anything else. I don't know if that was just because I grew up in europe or the thing to do in the 70's. Anybody out there who did not learn to swim in the US? Now my kids swim and have learned all 4 and they do have their favorites, but at least they have choices and can swim the IM.
