Hector reported:

Currently the player who played the clash card reveals and chooses where to put the revealed card, then the clash opponent reveals and chooses.

Both players' cards must be revealed before choosing, and active player should choose first whether to put his card on top or bottom of his library.

Actual order of events in the clash are detailed in the Lorwyn Faq [MTGLRW FAQ 092507.doc]:

* Each _Lorwyn_ card that has clash says to "clash with an opponent." To do this, the following things happen in sequence:
1) The controller of the spell or ability chooses an opponent. (This doesn't target the opponent.)
2) Each player involved in the clash reveals the top card of his or her library.
3) The converted mana costs of the revealed cards are noted.
4) In turn order, each player involved in the clash chooses to put his or her revealed card on either the top or bottom of his or her library. (Note that the player whose turn it is does this first, not necessarily the controller of the clash spell or ability.) When the second player makes this decision, he or she will know what the first player chose. Then all cards are moved at the same time.
5) The clash is over. If one player in the clash revealed a card with a higher converted mana cost than all other cards revealed in the clash, that player wins the clash.
6) If any abilities trigger when a player clashes, they trigger and wait to be put on the stack.
7) The clash spell or ability finishes resolving. That usually involves a bonus gained by the controller of the clash spell or ability if he or she won the clash.
8) Abilities that triggered during the clash are put on the stack.
