Cross the rear tires to the front and then move the front straight back. Make sure to also pay attention if they are directional tires.

My friend Ron described the generally accepted FWD rotation process. The owner's manual says to cross the front tires to the rear and move the rears straight up.
Lazy tire shops will just do front to rear and never cross them.

My 2012 Yukon Denali AWD owners manual shows this....
While my 2015 Acadia Denali AWD owners manual shows this...
I don't think it really matters which ones are crossed as long as you pick one way and stick with it.

I like the first way as the tires going to the steer axle have had time to wear into a straight pattern. I checked a 2009 Yukon Denali owner's manual and there was only one pattern. In the grand scheme of things you're right. Pick one way and stick with it.
