If you swap tires/wheels side to side, the outside of the tire is still on the outside regardless of which side of the car the tire/wheel is mounted.
As Steve suggests, the only way to even out the wear is to dismount the tires and have them re-mounted in the opposite direction. This will help to even out the wear and extend the total life of the tire. The drawback with this approach is that unless you own a tire changing machine, you'll have to take the tires to a shop to have them re-mounted in the opposite direction.
Swapping tires around addresses the symptom but not the source of the problem. The real fix is to get more front negative camber. Do the math and you might find that burning thru tires due to poor (non-optimal?) alignment is more expensive than biting the bullet and installing adj lower control arms.
