Why do some left hand players only swap the middle two strings around when they are changing a RH ukulele to play LH? Are the 1st and 4th string the same then and don't need to be swapped?
 
they are usually not the same gauge but very close. It's not ideal, but you could get by with tuning them a step higher or lower than their intended pitch.
 
Down to laziness, I guess. ;)

A lot of high G & A strings are in fact the exact same gauge, so isn't really necessary to swap them, especially if they are new strings. :)
