Note: If you are a DTE, then RTS is an output, CTS is an input.  If you
are a DCE, then RTS is an input and CTS is an output (normally on a
standard UART, you just swap the wiring for RTS and CTS but really that's
all that is going on.)  So swapping them in software should be acceptable
too, provided you're not having to disable any auto flow control facilities.
