Quick spark plug question...

So, my car will not spark... While finding out why, I un-plugged all my spark plug wires. So, I know that black is leading and blue is trailing, in what order do they go? Like...

[T1][T2] [T2][T1]
[L1][L2] or[L2][L1]

Oddly enough, I can find what I need to fix my original problem; but, I guess I can't word the phrase correctly to figure this one out when I search(RX7club and Google)

Thanks to whom ever helps!

.Leading is LOWER spark plugs.(looking at engine on driver's side of car)
Trailing is TOP spark Plugs.9looking at engine from the driver's side of car)
Rotor ONE is FRONT of engine(rad)
Rotor TWO is REAR of engine.(firewall)
Leading COIL is near Lights.
Trailing COIL is near Brake booster,on the driver's side off the car.
....You can mix up the 2 leading coil wires going to the Plugs,as they Fire at the SAME time..
BUT, you CANNOT mix up the Trailing Spark plug wires.If you do the engine will backfire and run like Crap.and can cause internal damage..so DON'T DO IT!..Period!
T1 must go to the Front TOP Plug and T2 must go the the REAR TOP plug.
