It does, and thanks to everyone who answered. I do prefer the index on the E just because it is a lot easier for me. So will stick with it for now.

[p]Ah ha! Good observation. :) I think the difference may be that I taught the previous version of the Fundamentals courses. And I start with the root note in lowest position.

But then GT had Lisa do the latest version of the Fundamentals courses. And she starts with the B major chord using a different voicing. So, maybe the chord sheet needs to be updated to reflect that.

But in any case, it's just 2 different voicings of the same chord. Did you understand my earlier post about that?

From a practical perspective, as a beginner you can pick either one & it's fine. They are both B major. Eventually if you keep learning and playing guitar you will need to know both anyway for different musical contexts.

Hope that helps!
