Jack Orange

How do I change wiring in a telephone jack for line 1 and 2?

Currently, I have a two line phone plugged into a telephone jack that is wired as follows:
Top left: orange
Bottom left: white/green
Top right: white/orange
Bottom right: green
What changes would I have to make so that the first and 2nd lines are switched?
Thank you in advance.
I tried changing the orange and white/green as well as the white/orange and green at the same time.
The lines appear to work and ring correctly but there is a bit of buzz (or humm) on both lines.

This is not standard wiring for phone lines with 4 twisted pairs or what is called cat5 or cat5e

Usually:
line 1 is blue/blue-white
line 2 is orange/orange-white
line 3 is green/green-white
line 4 is brown/brown white

on a standard 2 line plate/plug you have 4 colors (some new plates don't have colored wires but they have small letters representing these colors)
line 1 is red (connected to blue) and Green (connected to blue-white)
line 2 is yellow (connected to orange) and Black (connected to orange-white)

So the wiring you described looks like they used orange for line 1 and green for line 2. Swapping solid for solid and stripe for stripe should work. Sometimes if a pair of wires goes bad a phone guy will use another pair hence the wrong colors being used. I have seen the phone company reverse colors just to mess with outside contractors and other contractors trying to corner customers.
