I am attaching the info below on the firing order and cylinder layout.

Basically the left side of the engine is 1,3,5. The left side is determined by it sitting in the driver seat on rear wheel drive vehicles. Then on FWD vehicles, if you are sitting on top of the engine facing the drive belt and transmission behind you, determines left and right. Normally the left side on FWD vehicles is the front cylinders when standing in front of the vehicle.

Here is a guide that has some good info related to this as well:
