Options:

are mandoline strings and ukulele strings tuned to the same notes?

like…A E B, etc. ?

if not, what is the order?

No, they're tuned differently.

Ukuleles are tuned GCEA.

Mandolins are tuned GDAE.

Another difference is that mandolin strings go from lowest to highest whereas the G string on the ukulele is higher than the C and E strings.
