Write down the starting foot-numbers in the basement, then compare them to the end foot-numbers in the various rooms. If you only used one spool of cable for all the runs you should easily find the sequence.

Hopefully you a) didn't wire the house using multiple spools, and b) have enough slack in the cables where you can pull it out from the wall and read the numbers.
that is very clever and yes, the numbers are visible. I'm going to try to see if this works... and confirm with the battery test above from H&L!
