Phil, always nice to see how you present educational content in such appealing ways. Neat series you started here! I would think this is a quite helpful for many! Thank you! For the purpose of clarity and completion: wouldn't it be good to at least point out, that there are four position for chords consisting of four voices. In this particular case here, the missing one would reach beyond the twelfth fret (12, 12, 11, 13). So i can only suspect the fact that soprano ukuleles are restricted to 12 frets is the reason you left it out its 4th inversion.
Thanks. Yes, you're absolutely right. I really just wanted to present 3 options for players to choose. Some of my 'inversions' are not, strictly speaking, inversions, just different places to play, that are achievable for most players, and some are missing. Many of the chord inversions are simply unplayable, I would argue that 12, 12, 11, 13 is very tough unless you're on a tenor, possibly with a cutaway! As you noticed, I've kept all of these within 12 frets, as many sopranos only have 12. On my tenor banjo it's common to refer to chord inversions by which note of the chord is the highest, but whilst that kind of works on the uke, the limited range means that some chords would maybe have 4 inversions, some 3, some only 2 in order to fit into 12 frets.
