I'm assuming there's a pattern your supposed to install these in?
Like each tile is labeled to be installed in such an ordeR?

Lol.
First, this SHOULD be in the Home and Garden forum...
A previous homeowner installed LVP flooring in the bathrooms and laundry room that way. It doesn't bother me enough to rip it out...but like most of the "I ar a handy man!" things he did...I just shake my head.

They SHOULD be put down with varying lengths. "4', 2', 3', 1'" or some variation thereof.

for flooring with locking click joints, staggering the ends will provide a more stable floor (same reason why bricks are staggered)...for peel and stick flooring, it doesn't matter but looks weird...

I think those are actually ceramic tiles made to look like wood, but you're suppose to stagger them kind of like bricks not line them up lol. Can do a 1/3 pattern too.
