Default Coil wiring harness question

I just re-installed my motor; during the removal procedure I also took off my coils and re-wraped the the coil wiring harness. I have a question regarding reconneting thes harnesses; this may seem elementary and I believe it doesn't matter but would like verification. Can these harnesses be put on backwards? In other words, is there a front and rear? Or are the harnesses interchangeable - (I do realize that the connections will only go on one way based on the design - so that is not part of my question.)

Thanks

I would assume you need the harness to have the correct connector on the correct coil(ie. dont mix up the front and rear by putting it upside down). Only reasoning behind this would be your firing order can get mixed up. The connector will only go in one way so the connectors comming from the harness are in a certain order. I could be wrong but thats how it looks to me. I think this is what your asking, lol

Thanks. And I assume the same thing but don't know how to tell if it is backwards or not; of course I would not mix up the could connections by crossing them or such (in an unatural way as it relates to the harness); however you can see my point as to whether I have them upside down (basically fliped) - it would seem to me that would not accomidate the firing order - it would fire backwards on that bank - I mean, I am sure I will know once I try to start it but am trying to avoid that.
