installed dristributor cap and now engine runs rough

I installed a new distributor cap and after I start the engine the engine shakes a lot and runs really rough. I'm pretty sure that when I was replacing the wires I may have confused a few. Could you tell me the order in which they must be attached? Thank you.
(Btw it is the 3.1 L V6)
