In theory, it would seem logical to make sure the same wires are at each end, irrespective of order. But these are TWISTED PAIRS to minimise magnetic fields, attenuation etc.

Conventional order is:

orange/white
orange
green/white
blue
blue/white
green
brown/white
brown.

Crimp damned tight after being absolutely sure they've gone in the plug in the correct order (good eyes needed!)

You can test attenuation and reliability of connection, but the kit ain't cheap! Get it right at home and it'll be right.
