Does the Spark/Ignition Firing Order Change in the RX-8

Can anyone confirm that the firing order changes (reverses) in the RX-8, between Idle and Non Idle...

That is Trailing to Leading firing order at Idle and Leading to Trailing firing order at Non Idle.

Yes, idle conditions do have a negative split between trailing and leading.
