When you make Hamotzi on Shabbos you use the top Challah. However, on Friday night you use the bottom. Therefore, so as not to pass over the Mitzvah you hold the bottom one closer.
My question is why on Friday night do we use the bottom and not the top like the rest of Shabbos?
Answer
It seems there are actually different customs. As for the reason, it seems to be Kaballah (per Rama and Taz there (O.C. 274:1)
