Unless I'm doing SELECT *, I almost always want quite a few pieces of data. Therefore it is more natural to say: "Let's go to Starbucks and get coffee, soda, danishes, sandwhiches, soda, and a coffee cup." It would be confusing to mention all the various items first and the store near the end. "Let's get coffee, soda, danishes, sandwhiches, soda, and a coffee cup from Starbucks." This aside, the fact that doing the FROM near the end prevents autocompletion, is plenty enough reason to change the ordering in my opinon.
