Unlike Ethernet, Interlaken requires that TX and RX lanes maintain the correct ordering.
Important: Lane alignment can still be achieved even if lanes are swapped.

The reason is that the alignment marker is the same for each lane. Furthermore, even with lanes swapped, the CRC32 might be correct provided that signal integrity is good.

Lane swapping is often indicated by a CRC24 error while data is being sent.
