I know very little about firing orders other than 1-3-4-2 seems to have been the most common among British manufacturers. I think I am right that the firing order of a side-valve Riley 11/40 tourer of 1927 which I owned a few years ago was (from memory)
2-4-1-3, and I believe that for the ubiquitous and very successful Riley 9 was 1-2-4-3. There will be others far better informed than me...
Presumably though it was all at the behest of the engine designer, I can't see that any one would have been smoother than another, at least not in a 'four'.
