Reversing A and B is a time-honored method of reversing the sign of the
motion.
It most certainly will not cause problems in accurately counting the pulses.

Mixing up the pairing of the signals on a differential encoder WILL
cause unreliable
reading, but most of these hobby boards don't accept differential
signals. Differential
encoders have A and A-, B and B- signals. The A- and B- are often shown
with a
"vinculum" or overbar, which I can't do here.
