Leading possition doesnt really matter, you need to be worried about not mixing up the trailing plugs. The rear roter is 2, the front rotor is 1

if you look at it as L=lower (leading) ...and T=top(trailing)...now the wires for leading are switchable,between rotor housings(they fire simultaneously)..but the Trailing wires need to be Correct..T1=front rotor,upper plug...and T2=rear rotor,upper plug..

I'm sure. Are you sure that was a mechanic who told you otherwise?
