A Baltimore Purge card doesn't kick off as the Vampire bearing the card
enters torpor, it kicks off when the Baltimore Purge burns, the Vampire
bearing it being in torpor or not.

True, the purge burns, but the effect is
Balimore Purge: Action Requires a ready vampire. If this vampire is
Ravnos, this action is at +1 stealth. Put this card on the acting vampire.
During your untap phase, burn this card, and each other Methuselah chooses a
ready vampire he or she controls who is not older than this vampire. If you
control a ready Lasombra, you choose the vampires instead. This vampire and
the chosen vampires go to torpor.
What I am asking, and I know you can choose the order of things in untap, is
shouldn't the Purge be one complete action, start to finish, rather than
Burn Purge A, choose vampires, Burn Purge B, choose vampires, then vampires
go to torpor. Because it has been mentioned that if the Purging vampire is
already in torpor - before untap phase, it will not work, but it works if
vampire is in torpor in untap phase?

The vampire being in torpor, before or during your untap phase, does not
affect the burning of Baltimore Purge. Each of them is burned, in turn.

You can choose the order of them being burned, but as each is burned, the
choices and torporisation effect is handled there and then, as part of
that effect.

Ah ok, I've got it, just needed it clarified.
Sam
Right. Don't forget, though, that if the Purging vampire was the only
Lasombra you controlled, and you have multiple Purges on it, only the
first Purge you resolve would allow you to choose the vampires (since
Baltimore Purge says "if you control a *ready* Lasombra").
(You're right, Sam, that you handle all of "burn purge A" before you go
on to handling all of "burn purge B"; you were just mistaken in thinking
that the Purge effects didn't happen if the Purging vampire was already
in torpor.)
Josh
for additional clarity... maybe
