No, a hat trick can be scored in any order, as long as it's all in one game, and scored by the same player.

Oh. I was thinking that if it was 3 in a row, it would be as hard as an inside the park home run in baseball.

There is also a special type of hat trick called the "Natural Hat Trick" which is 3 in a row, no one scoring between your goals. Those are rare.
