I doubt very much if you will get a HT length chart to help you, but if they are all various lengths, it usually goes that the longest to the furthest plug working back to the shortest in the firing order.
leads should sit comfortably without strain or being too loose
use lead spacers to keep the leads from touching each other or you run the risk of a misfire as the spark is induced into the lead with the less resistance ( induction stroke where there is no compression)
If your trying to change spark plugs remove one wire from a plug, replace that plug, reinstall the wire onto that plug and move on to the next plug. You don;t need to worry about firing order unless you plan on changing the wires or the cap and rotor. Even if you where to change the wires if you did them one at a time than the new ones would be in the exact same place as the old ones and there is nothing to worry about,
Is the coil connected to the ditributor? did you knock any connections off in the process? Does it turn over but not fire? do you have spark at the plugs? Are you sure of cylinder location in respect to firing order? Did you-and check this first as with any elec. problems-blow a fuse in the ignition circuit? good luck!

The Code(s) should be telling the specific cylinder(s) that are misfiring. Do you know waht the code is?
Target those cylinders 1st before testing the unaffected cylinders.
The following should isolate the problem(s).
1. Spark plugs - take out-reconnect back to wires and test spark plugs for getting sparks. If none: Don't replace them yet. GO TO 2. If the spark plugs are worn, dirty them replace them.
2. Remove spark plugs form end of ignition wires and test for spark from the wire. If none: Don't replace them yet. GO TO 3.
3. Remove the wires from the coil connection and test the coil for spark for each cylinder. If none: Don't replace it yet.
4. Test each spark plug and wires this way.
5. Coil Packs normally provide fire for 2-cylinders at the same time. The two are paired across from one another.
6. Test the coil for fire, amount of fire and if there is both cyclinders firing.
Misfire and the O2 Sensor got replaced??
Good Luck and get back with me if you need additional help or if this solved the problem.
The COIL PACK TOWERS are numbered :
coil----3---4
pack---2---6
plug----1---5
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The engine cylinders / spark plugs are numbered :
passenger side , front to rear , 1 , 2 , 3
-----drivers side , front to rear , 4 , 5 , 6
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The spark plug firing order is ( 1 -4 - 2 - 5 - 3 - 6 )
