The other part of the fuel plan

What is the order of fuel use on a long-haul flight and the theory behind the aerodynamics?

I know that using the fuel from the tail first or last is supposed to be of aerodynamic benefit but I cannot remember which way it goes and why. I have looked it up in the books I have here at home but I was hoping for a bit more of an explanation.

Thanks in advance,

FRQ CB
