LUDecomposition[{{1, 2}, {3, 4}}]
and
LUDecomposition[{{3, 4}, {1, 2}}]
both give the same output:
{{{1, 2}, {3, -2}}, {1, 2}, 1}

Only the output for the first matrix is correct.

Alpha gives the same incorrect results for the 2nd matrix
correct 1st matrix: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=LUDecomposition+{{1%2C2}%2C{3%2C4}}
incorrect 2nd matrix: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=LUDecomposition+{{3%2C4}%2C{1%2C2}}
