次に is the common, everyday word for 'next' or 'then', while 次いで is more formal and typically appears in written, structured sequences.
続つづいて
続いて stresses an uninterrupted continuation from the previous action, whereas 次いで simply marks the next item in a sequence without implying continuity.

ついでN2
序で (also written 序) is a homophone meaning 'while at it, on this occasion' (例: 買い物のついでに), completely unrelated to 次いで's meaning of 'next, secondly'.
