When we use Past Continuous we often use 'yesterday at 5' etc. i.e. we state which day and hour sth. was happening.

eg.

I was reading a book yesterday at 5.

Is it correct to change the order in the adverbial of time and say:

I was reading a book at 5 yesterday.

Thanks for replies in advance :).
