I'm looking to change up the checkdown on some plays, and wondering what the order for the WRs is?

this is copied from someone else but here ya go.
The numbering starts with the outermost receivers on each side of the O-line, left side before right side, then works its way in.
For example, in I-Formation, it's WR1 OT G C G OT TE WR2.
In Single Back and Shotgun, it's WR1 WR3 OT G C G OT TE WR2.
Why WR1, then 3, then 2? Because you number the outermost receivers first, then work your way inside.
For Trips, it's WR1 WR2 WR3 OT G C G OT TE.
Why does it just go 1-2-3 here? Because there are no WRs on the right side, so you just work your way from the outside-in with the numbers.
For Spread, it's WR1 WR3 OT G C G OT WR4 WR2.
Remember, it's outermost receivers first, left side before right side. So, the outermost receivers get numbered first (1 on the left, 2 on the right), and then the inside receivers get numbered next (3 on the left, 4 on the right).
And finally, for 5-WR Shotgun, it's WR1 WR3 OT G C G OT WR5 WR4 WR2.
The outermost receivers get numbered first: 1 on the left, 2 on the right. Then the next pair of inside receivers comes next: 3 on the left, 4 on the right. Then the next receiver inside gets numbered, though this time there is just one receiver left on the right side and no corresponding receiver on the left side. So the remaining receiver is WR5.
...
Clear?
No?
Don't worry, someone else will find a way to take what I just said and distill it down into 1 sentence,

They're basically arranged in the same order that you'd use silverware at a fancy dinner.
