Cord broke so I bought a new switch. I matched the numbers on the old one, but the new one had two wires opposite of mine. Does the arrangement on the switch matter? On the new one the purple and black are reversed.

Sounds like you now own a single speed ceiling fan.

I think it depends on how many blades your fan has.
