They always start with zone 1 which is C-class.
With LH zone 1 is actually all the A seats, zone 2 the F seats, 3 and 4 the middle seats and 5 and 6 the aisle seats.
Makes kind of sense. If the person in F needs to relocate D and E before sitting down that creates a lot of mess. If he can stand in front of seat D when preparing to sit down (since the D chap hasn't boarded yet) then it is rather smooth. As with any other boarding scheme I only see it randomly applied.
And yes. C passengers are not treated differently. Try not to be in the aisle seats. More than once I have had to explain (esp. to MAN staff) that, ehem, I am C and I'd like to board NOW, and not when it suits them.
