Stuart Beavon sparked a six goal thriller to edge Wycombe off the foot of the table.
Beavon nodded in his 17th of the campaign in the seventh minute and nine minutes later co-striker Paul Hayes slotted in the second from eight yards.
Midfielder Matt Bloomfield prodded in his first of the season in the 33rd minute before setting up substitute Ben Strevens's tap in six minutes later.
One minute after the break Orient skipper Matt Spring fired in a 22 yard scorcher and midfielder Marc Laird nodded in in the 74th minute, but the damage was done in the first half.
Wycombe manager Gary Waddock was delighted to see his team bounce back from a 4-1 weekend mauling at Scunthorpe and said:
"In the first half we were very, very good. It was an important three points and very pleasing on the eye. We needed to win the game and had enough goal scorers on the pitch to do it.
After the game on Saturday it was important we didn't lie down and die and we showed we have players with character who are prepared to stand up and fight.
We're consistent at being inconsistent and that's frustrating. You pull your hair out sometimes, but they've shown what a good group of players they are."
Furious Orient boss Russell Slade said:
"I can't think when I've been as disappointed in any of my teams as I was in the first half. As a group we were so poor it was horrendous.
We needed to put some pride back into the shirt in the second half, but it was too late."
