What is the current thinking on Tyre rotation as opinion between vehicle and tyre manufacturers appears to be divided.
The vehicle in question, a Mondeo, has a set of Avon ZV5 tyres ( Asymetrical/non directional) they have only covered 8K miles but the fronts were wearing on the inside but are still legal.This has hopefully now been stopped by have the alignment adjusted.
In order to minimise any additional wear on the fronts I was considering rotating them to the rear hence the original question.
If this is acceptable what is the correct sequence to use for these tyres.

I'm not keen on it unless there's a specific gain by moving them. Modern tyres adopt the cambers profile and weight distribution, move them and the tyre can distort.
