input -1 and -2 should be paired and in order #302

Hi,

I noticed that the input -1 and -2 should be paired and in order. If they are not ordered, I find that the megahit can still run without any error? May I ask whether there is big difference between in order or disordered? What's the big difference? Does it really matter to maker reads from forward and reverse files in order?

Many thanks Wang
