Ways of Phrasing Sentences

In English, I can phrase sentences in many ways.

Ex: I like to run as a hobby. Running is something I like to do as a hobby. One of my hobbies include running.

In Spanish, can sentences be inverted? (I know that "running" or "walking" can't be turned into nouns. I learned this from one of the answers to my questions.) If yes, could you name a couple so that I get the hang of it.

Thanks!

Here is a couple of examples I found:

Is Luis going to be working?

¿Va a estar trabajando Luis?

¿Va a estar Luis trabajando?

¿Luis va a estar trabajando?

¿Va Luis a estar trabajando?

Are you getting cold?

¿A usted le está dando frío?

¿Le está dando frío a usted?

¿Le está a usted dando frío?

¿Le está dando a usted frío?

They don't like her.

Ella no les gusta a ellos.

Ella a ellos no les gusta.

A ellos ella no les gusta.
