Why did the red and blue switch positions on the French flag in the transition from the French Kingdom to the First Republic in the 1790s?

The flag of the French Kingdom has red on the left and blue on the right with white in the center. The Flag of the First Republic has the blue on the left and red on the right.

What is the significance? How was the decision arrived at and was there any controversy over the change?
