The meaning is same. The difference is whether a person you talk to know Tanaka or not.
e.g.)
A. Kare ha dare desu ka?
B. Ano hito wa Tanaka san desu.
A. Tanaka san ha dare desu ka?
B. Tanaka san ha ano hito desu.

The difference is same as the difference between “The person is Mr. Tanaka” and “Mr. Tanaka is the person”.
