2 Gang switch wiring - Swap left for right switch

[Ian 1969]

Hi, just to be clear, when Sparwright says A1, A2 ans A3, mine are labelled A, A1 and A2.
Does my A on the switch become A1 on his list? And my A1 become his A2 etc?
Thanks again

A becomes B
A1 becomes B1
A2 becomes B2

B becomes A
B1 becomes A1
B2 becomes A2

Thank you DetlefSchmitz, just wanted to make sure.

Swapped it over no probs. Wrote the numbers on masking tape at the ends of the wires to make it idiot proof.
All works fine, just got to turn the upstrairs switch 180 degrees so it operates the correct way around (OCD again!)
Thank you very much for your guidance!

Swop the yellow and blue over at the downstairs switch that will do the same without touching the upstairs switch

Thanks Rocky but already done now, straight forward enough, thank you
