Your fleet goes through the shelling phase in order of range; battleships (long range) attack first, then medium range, etc. If there are multiple ships in a range, the order is randomized.

If you have a battleship, then the second shelling phase goes in order from top to bottom, regardless of range; the flagship attacks first.

During night battle, a similar convention to the second shelling phase exists; your ships attack from top to bottom regardless of range.
