@OP: What, exactly, are you trying to accomplish by reordering those args? Please describe the intended use, including a description of the problem to be solved and how you think this will solve it.

I don't think there is a problem here. It is only about the order of the arguments. I think OP just wanted a different order, which is much more convenient for him/her. I totally agree with it, there is no logic behind that, so (in general) the expected order of the arguments (in most cases) are just strange, unusual. But actually this is how it was implemented. And you always have the possibility to add a wrapper to it.
I know we have conventions, we have similar programs, just that won't make it more convenient.
