GUIDE FOR OLDER VERSIONS:
Dwarves always begin with the northwest most tile and work their way south until all designations in that column are complete.
The simplest way to prevent this from happening is to turn off the mining of all dwarves save one. Here are some other, less restrictive solutions:
Overseer
Designate channels in single columns. Leave the miners room to escape.

Ramps
The total number of tasks required to complete this method is higher than the above one, but allows your dwarves to safely channel without you keeping tabs on them. Create stairs leading to the lower level at the entrance, designate ramps on the lower level, use the z-designate to remove those ramps, and finally channel the stairway on the original level.

Stairs
This method requires even more tasks overall to complete than the above one, but allows dwarves to safely dig multiple levels without supervision.
