One of the Mechs that I have shoots its Missiles at the same time when I shoot the laser beam. That means when I press number 1 or use (left mouse bottom) it will fire both the laser and the missiles at once. I tried changing the firing order by using the direction arrows and Back space but I can not really assign a key for the weapon. I think it is very complex and could have been made way more ergonomic. ANY HELP??!!!

Change your firing groups. Use the arrow keys to select a particular weapon/group and press the left 'CTRL' to select/unselect the firing group.

Backspace toggles chainfire for the selected group.

The actual operation is to:
  • Enter a Training Grounds session or a Match.
  • Move the up/down arrows to select the appropriate weapon
  • use the right CTRL key to toggle that weapon off
  • Use the left/right arrows to select the appropriate group
  • Press right CTRL again to toggle the weapon on for the selected group.
  • Repeat as necessary until the weapons you want are in the groups you want
Note that the next version of the User Interface (UI2.0) will allow you to perform this function inside the mechlab.

Right 'CTRL' key is the correct one, left Control I think just enables free look inside your cockpit.

The backspace key only toggles on and off chain fire for the currently selected group

Check out the video linked in this post. It walks through the process and has other good advice for weapon grouping.
