Hi,
If you look at pic 1, it provides the firing order. Pic 2 shows the cylinder orientation.
If you haven't worked on the ignition system, the firing order shouldn't have changed. Oftentimes, a backfire is caused by either a lean or rich fuel mixture. Do you notice any black smoke from the exhaust?
Take a look through this link and let me know if it is helpful in any way:

Also, do you know if the timing belt has been serviced in the past?
Let me know.
Joe
