Default 2004 Lexus ES330 - Spark Plug Replacement & Firing Order.

On my wife's 04 ES330, I got a CEL and hooked up my trusty scanner, which is telling me that I have a misfire in cyl 4. Since the car has 91k miles I'm thinking about swapping all the plugs as well as the coil pack which I assume is faulty hence the CEL. Can someone tell me the firing order, so I'm not changing the wrong coil back and please be specific w/location in regards to firewall and nearest to the timing belt.

Thanks!

1-3-5
2-4-6

imagine you're looking at the engine...cylinder #2 is on the front bank closest to the radiator on the passenger side. # 6 is closest to the transaxle.
