Exercise Groups/Sequence

 
So I ran into the website exrx.net, which has a ton of very useful information.  I really want to try one of their workout routines, but I'm running into the same problem I usually do when I run across exercise routines.  They usually just list a set of exercies or muscle groups, but I'm not sure how to group the exercies. 
 
Basically, lets say you had a list of 6-8 exercises to do.  Is there a general consensus on how to do them, for instance
 
1)  do 3 sets of one exerces before moving on to the next
2)  do 1 set of some number fo exercises in a group before moving on to the next group and repeating
3)  do 1 set of each exercise before repeating
4)  some other sequence?
 

Doing 1 set of benches than doing 1 set of rows, afterwords going directly back to benches and repeat is called strip-sets.

3 sets of benches, 3 sets of pullups, 3 sets of rows, etc.. is how I go.

Does that answer your question? I don't quite understand what you're asking.

That sort of answers it.  For instance, one of the workout guides I found (exrx.net) just gives a list such as:

Workout A:
Back (Lats)
Deltaoid (side)
Back (General)
Trapezius (Upper)
Deltoid (Rear) *
Biceps
Brachialis *
Brachioradialis *
Wrist Flexors *
Wrist Extensors *

And then they give you a list of exercises you could do for each muscle group so you could create your own workout that fits the general outline.  The *'s indicate optional muscle groups to exercise in this workout, which I was planning on doing.  My question is basically, how would I do these exercises?... should I do 1 set of each of the first 2-3 exercises until I have done 3 sets and then move on to the next group of 2-3 exercises?  Or should I do 3 sets of the first exercise before moving on to the next and so on?

I don't see how all of those exercises in one session would be anything less than counterproductive.
