A long time ago, I might have forgiven such rigidness. But, yeesh, that was 30 years ago. In 2019 if I've already tokenized it for you with FROMs and GROUP BYs, you're a computer, go figure it out. Many years of writing SQL prevents me from but the most rare ordering mistake, but it kinda grinds my gears just a little that it's still an issue.
OTOH FROM first is better for tooling.
Really, there's no really good reason for a mandatory order of clauses in an SQL statement.
