What is the correct order to create Pathfinder characters in FGC, or FGU for that matter.

I am guessing:
Abilities
Race
Class
Skills
Feats

Am I close?

Edit: Also, where can I find the Traits, such as Reactionary or Dangerously Curious? I have most of the Paizo rule books and can't seem to find them

I import character from PC Gen or Hero Lab using the exported XML file. If I update a character then I stat with the "Main", "Combat", "Skills", "Abilities", "Actions", "Notes" and "Inventory" tabs, but I may have to jump back and forth to check stuff.

That's what I'm doing now using Herolab. I just want to see how it's done for those that don't use Herolab

Does Hero Lab import descriptions? PC Gen does not, one has to add them.

Yes, it does. You do have to buy all of the Paizo content though to use Hero Lab

One of my players does that, and sends me a pdf character sheet which gives me a headache.

I hope this isn't too off topic. But I was hoping to get this out there, I am providing my artistic skill in creating photo real character portraits.
Here is a link to a few that I have done for the World of Darkness.

send them this or something, they can make it WAY easier for you

I think your order is correct or close enough to not cause problems.
Traits are (mostly) in Special Abilities.
