I don't know but the 1st string being the highest pitch convention makes more sense when you look at bowed string instruments where the first string is the one closest to the bowing hand. It does make sense to me as being the highest pitch but I'm well used to it and when "mr midi' numbered the notes on a keyboard he started at the bottom which just goes to show what I know...
