   Sorry if this has been asked before.

   Why is an odd order FIR filter better than an even order FIR filter?
   Thanks.

It is not, both are equally good.  The only difference is the group
delay.  For an odd length fir filter the group delay is (N-1)/2, note
that this results in a integer number of sample delays.  For an even
length filter the group delay is also (N-1)/2, but the delay is NOT
integral.  If this makes even length filters worst that odd then I
guess this answers your question...
