Can I Always Change the Order of Operands of Logical Operators?

Is there any case that writing the operands of logical operators with different order make a different result? (A = B and B = A are totally different and not interchangeable)
Are A == B and B == A always the same?
Are A >= B and B =< A always the same?

Yes, with the exception of short circuiting behavior with || and &&. In which case the second expression may not run.

(Semantics, == and >= and <= are "relational" operators, not "logical" operators. E.g. & and | are "logical" operators.)
For the built-in numeric and logical and char types, I can think of no situation where your relational examples would give a different result ... even when considering inf and NaN situations. But for OOP classes, of course, the behavior could be different depending on how the underlying overloaded code is written. E.g., if the < operator was coded to be the complement of the >= operator, you could get some unexpected results that were not the same:
>> A = 5;
>> B = 6;
>> A < B
ans =
1
>> B > A
ans =
1
>> ~(A >= B)
ans =
1 <-- Same result as A < B
>> A = inf
A =
Inf
>> B = NaN
B =
NaN
>> A < B
ans =
0
>> B > A
ans =
0
>> ~(A >= B)
ans =
1 <-- NOT the same result as A < B
