Why there is need of firing order?

If all cylinders fired at once, power distribution would be very jerky, so the engine is set up to have the cylinders firing in sequence for a smoother power delivery instead. And if the pistons move in a certain rhythm, then they have to receive their sparks in a certain rhythm too, as the engine will only run well if the cylinders fire when the piston is in a certain position.
