You mean mixed up or jumbled compared to the typical English order or syntax. From the Spanish viewpoint there is no disorder. They consider the English structure too rigid or inflexible lacking some of the stylistic beauty of the Spanish language.
My advice is to look at a lot of translated sentences. The different patterns are quickly recognized.
Nerd, the words are "jumbled" if you try and apply the rules of the English language. To a Spanish speaking person, English sentences appear "jumbled".
It will take time and study to learn the rules and patterns of constructing sentences in Spanish.
Hope that helps!
