Cumulative Security updates order

Copper Contributor

Hi guys, I am having a  sort of a basic question but I am a little bit confused so I need help. 
I had problems with my WSUS installation for a while so my servers weren't updating. I fixed that problem now and decided to make a vulnerability assessment to see where we stand.

Of course the findings where too many and I have started fixing them one by one.

The question is the following: I am missing many cumulative security updates for IE 9 on my 2008 servers.  I have noticed that many updates replace others. For instance 2987107 MS14-056 is being replaced by 3003057 MS14-065 and MS14-080 replaces MS14-065.

So what to do? Just install the latest that supersedes old ones ie only MS14-080 in the above example? Or install all the updates starting from the oldest to the newest?

Looks like this one is the latest cumulative update as of this post. The latest would supersede the older ones.
