String Order on a guitar

Found a beautiful classical guitar in the trash...not a mark on it in beautiful condition. It is a Yamaha C-40. It had NO STRINGS on it and it may have never been strung.

I could find no evidence it has ever been played.
So I go buy a Sevilla string set and there is no order listed their packaging on how to install the strings and in what order to install them onto the guitar.

So I am asking what order do they go...I am getting hint that they are not installed in the order of their numbering.
Ie.....28...30....32...from the bottom up....

Hi!

The order of the strings are the thickest at the top (closest to your face) and moving down in thickness to the thinest one the furthest away from your face.

Those strings are:

E - 6th string;

A - 5th string;

D - 4th string;

G - 3rd string;

B - 2nd string;

E - 1st string.

Also, this page on guitar string replacement should help.

Kind regards,
