The following is from a conversational Spanish book.

Aquí la tiene usted. = Here it is. (Here you have it.) ‘It’ referees to una lista.

I am confused by the word order. I thought that the subject pronoun should come before the verb, and that the pronouns should be in subject, object sequence. Giving

Aquí usted la tiene.

Which is the correct word order?

In Spanish you can put the subject before or after the verb, either is correct.

Aquí la tiene is sufficient.
