It's a classic - the Germanic construction is to put the verb at the
end, you may get the English words right, but the ordering of them is,
to a normal English speakers ear, a bit of a give-away.

The device is often used in drama to give an impression of foreign-ness.

As in

"The ordering of words, most important, is".
