In keeping with our Editor's advice, you will need to look into what functional constituents are and how they are ordered in English. From Syntax II: Phrases and Function:

English main (declarative clauses) generally display the following order of functional constituents:

(Adjunct) – Subject – Verb – Indirect Object – Direct Object – (Adjunct)

(Adjuncts occur variably clause-initially or clause-finally)
