Ok I see what your doing now.
I will assume no one marked the pipes or made a pulling map for the panel. They had just labeled the wires as the pulled them. Hopefully they grouped the hot and netural per code as applicable. From what I read you had to group by the connector.
I will also assume the wires are color coded per phase/ system.
If this is the case pretty typical each in it for them selves. I run pipe, I pull wire, you hook up. No crew cooperation.
I would do the following.
I would make a map first or mark in back of panle the circuit numbers as you group if applicable.
Then you have choices to make.
If you have a netural bar on each side. You can either land them straight down which takes time to mark as you go or cross over to the odd/ even side of required to lable. You stated you do not. So straight down they go. I do not like that however it is the speed way to do and neater than having both cross.
Basically once grouped cut and land ascending from the bottom hole on the netural bar for each side.
If netural are required to be labeled.
I land odd on left side even on right side using the netural hole descending.
Cir #1 netural in #1 hole on netural bar. Then lable all when done. You skip the hole that has no netural in the circuit. I do this even if labeling not required so I can test circuits using current law. Very easy for service guy as well. All drawing match this method.
Then simply land hoys per map or marked panle and lable when done.
An apprentice can do this while you move to next one and you can check there work.
I move left to right.
Example
Pipe 1 is 1,3,5
Black
Red
Blue.
If more than three 120 volt circuits I use odd man out.
1,3,5,7
7 get grouped with the EGC.
1,3,5 goes first than a quick check and land 7. No mix up on black.
It's a double check method.
Now you should have netural hole 1,2,3,4 on odd side with a wire in it and the first four odd side 120 volt breakers. The go to pipe 2.
If pipe 2 has odd and even cir numbers group, land odd and then even sticking with the left to right rule.
Let say pipe 2 has cir 9,11,13 #22
22 is group and taped to green.
Netural hole #11 or right side get unscrewed and breaker 22 is put in the on position.
Your working this panel de- energized, yes.
Now you land 9,11,13. Once done you land 22. This the easy double check for 22.
If you made a map, I would have.
Cross those pipes off. Pipe one and two are done.
Do quick scan, black,red blue and so on. 22 is what color? Red!
So odd man out in pipe 2 is Red.
The pulling map will also identify any issue prior to make up.
Let's say you have a 42 circuit panle with all line to netural loads.
All 42 circuit must be accounted for prior to make up. This method catch many pulling errors. Also makes it easy to see where. Another double check. Four circuits per pipe equal 40 circuits and 80 wires plus EGC if applicable. Where is the other two.
With a copy of the panle scheldule posted you draw a single line through the one accounted for.
Now what four are missing. Or which ones are doubled up.
Example, an x would the same number twice. 22 twice and one is blue. This may be 42. This wire get tucked away up top and you compare the home run chart if one was made. Sound like to me one was not.
Also I. The copy of the panle scheldule there would be conductor sizing. A line through that and your good. A circle and there's a pulling error. Again set those up top for corrections. If scheldule is not marked the pulling crew should have wrote it in, most do not.
I could add more however I hope you get the jist of it.
Two options.
Land down ascending or left to right descending. Be consistent with one or the other.
Speed will follow.
On design build I work with the left right rule.
The pipe work is done so odd is on left and even on right. Make life simple. Landing is super easy and clean.
