Thats what I thought, but a friend had told me that if they were out of order the piston would hit them and would make them pop, and bend the rod....is that not true.....all the pushrod are the same length so I thought it should not matter.....

Your friend is wrong. The piston can not hit the push rods. Ideally youd want to put the push rods in the same place because they have "worn in" so to speak in that location. The same with the rocker arms and lifters but its not going to destroy anything if they dont end up in the same spot.
