*sigh*  Damn shells.   I wish they'd do some consistency.   I did some testing once I saw that this worked, and found that bash and the bourne shell in freebsd apparently want this ordering.   I learned the other ordering on old hp and at&t sys-v systems about 15 years ago, where only that ordering worked.

It's annoying that the ordering is important, but is completely undocumented.
