Unlike English, Koine Greek doesn't rely on word position to show who's doing what to whom — that job is carried by the case endings (nominative, accusative, genitive, etc.), not by where a word sits in the sentence. Because of this, word order in Greek is genuinely flexible, and a large share of the "transposed" variants you'll find throughout the interlinear involve no real difference in meaning — just a different word order carrying the same grammatical relationships.
There's no single fixed "Koine order" the way English defaults to Subject-Verb-Object. Patterns shift by genre and author: fast-moving narrative (Mark, much of the Gospels) tends to front the verb more often; denser, more argumentative or Hebraic-influenced writing (Hebrews, the Johannine letters) often pushes the verb later in the clause. Word order in Greek is driven mainly by emphasis and what the author wants the reader's attention on first — not by a grammatical requirement.
