| 1-In order for people to notice him he shouted. 2-He shouted in order for people to notice him. 3-He shouted for people to notice him. 4-In order for you to be able to come in, I didn't lock the door. 5-I didn't lock the door in order for you to be able to come in. 6-I didn't lock the door for you to be able to come in. |

| They're OK, but not very natural. I'd say something like this: He shouted so that people would notice him. I didn't lock the door for you to come in/so that you could come in. |

| Thanks TDOL, One more please. What do you think of these: 1-In order him to get out of the way, I pushed him violently. 2-I pushed him violently in order for him to get out of the way. 3-I pushed him violently for him to get out of the way. 4-I pushed him violently to get out of the way. I think 3 is not only unnatural but downright wrong. I don't know about the other ones. |

| The closest one is the fourth, but I'd make the following change: -I pushed him violently to get him out of the/my way. With the first, you could say 'in order to get him out of the/my way... |
