Do you also learn the stroke order? There's stroke order charts on some dictionaries like http://jisho.org/search/%E6%BC%A2%20%23kanji where you can replay the stroke order. If you memorize this too, not only your brain but also your hand will start to remember kanji (motoric memory!).

And as for order of studying, you can check out Joyo kanji by grade and start learning them from grade 1 to 9. Either or you can learn them by JLPT level (N5 first, then N4, ...). Kanji handbooks usually have their own order, so if you use a kanji handbook like http://www.amazon.co.jp/BASIC-KANJI-BOOK-VOL-1-%E5%9F%BA%E6%9C%AC%E6%BC%A2%E5%AD%97500/dp/4893580914 you can use the handbook's order.
