Confusing part in the description of LAMMPS command

Hello everyone,
I am using LAMMPS with ReaxFF. I have a little confusion about the following which comes from manual of LAMMPS and describes pair_coeff:

As an example, say your LAMMPS simulation has 4 atom types and the elements are ordered as C, H, O, N in the ffield file. If you want the LAMMPS atom type 1 and 2 to be C, type 3 to be N, and type 4 to be H, you would use the following pair_coeff command:

pair_coeff * * ffield.reax C C N H

In the input data file, the atoms are in the sequence of C H N O, like this:

LAMMPS data file via write_data, version 1 Feb 2014, timestep = 50000

1792 atoms
4 atom types

0.0000000000000000e+00 2.6171570702085877e+01 xlo xhi
0.0000000000000000e+00 2.1937689376657051e+01 ylo yhi
0.0000000000000000e+00 2.8962100460609808e+01 zlo zhi

Masses

1 12.0107
2 1.00794
3 14.0067
4 15.9994.

So I use pair_style command like this:

pair_style	reax/c NULL lgvdw yes
pair_coeff	* * ffield.reax.lg C H N O

I wonder is the order of C H N O right? Should this sequence identical to the order in the input file?
Plus, I need to identify the reactive species. These is also an confusing order:
fix 3 all reax/c/species 1 10 100 species.out cutoff 1 4 0.3 cutoff 1 1 0.55

I wonder that in this set of cutoff distance, does 1, 2, 3, 4 means C H N O in the pair_coeff command or C H O N in the field file?

Thanks for your reply.

Above is just an example and is not related to the data file below.

In the input data file, the atoms are in the sequence of C H N O, like this:

Yes , they should be the same.

Plus, I need to identify the reactive species. These is also an confusing order:
fix 3 all reax/c/species 1 10 100 species.out cutoff 1 4 0.3 cutoff 1 1 0.55

In the pair_coefficient command.
