Don't worry too much about the order as long as the verb is at the end and the correct particles are in the right places. The only thing a sentence need is a verb. This is a property of Japanese, here's an example of how you can rearrange a sentence. 私と花子さんは学校で本を読んでいる。 学校で私と花子さんは本を読んでいる。　 本を私と花子さんは学校で読んでいる。 私と花子さんは本を読んでいる。 本を読んでいる。You can even rip the subject out entirely if it's obvious what the subject is. So, Japanese is not necessarily a SOV language.

It follows the "SOV" sentence structure.
