Ignition coil wire leads

I have my right (#2) ignition coil off (to get the cylinder cover off - context not important). Out of curiosity, how important is it that the two wires to it aren't switched? I snapped a picture of it before pulling off the leads, but last time I pulled them off I didn't and have always wondered if I had it right, or if it even mattered. The reason I really question it is because I had the RED wire on the GREEN connector (bottom), and the GREEN wire on the BLACK connector (top). I wired it this way last time because the way the wires hung out of the harness seemed like they had been in that position since assembly.... but couldn't be sure. It seems weird to me that GREEN wouldn't go to GREEN. I checked the wiring diagram, and although it specifies which wire is which, there was no indication which terminal is which.

So does it matter?

For the record, which wire is officially supposed to connect to which terminal?

RED wire on the GREEN connector / GREEN wire on the BLACK connector is the way mine is.
