Help needed-order of pronouns in this sentence

Question

Cuando el vendedor volvío, yo iría ordenar los periodicos para los repartidores, de los cualos, se los llevó a ellos.
When the shopkeeper returned, I sorted the papers for the paper boys, which he took to them

Answer 1

It has just been brought to my attention that when I copied and pasted Harry's phrase, I neglected to change the "cualos" to "cuales," which I didn't even notice. Just for the record...

Answer 2

de los cualos, se los llevó a ellos.
However I think I had them wrong way round even so

No, you had them in the right order, and you were pretty close on the whole thing.

There is no need for the "de" or the comma, and the "los cuales" obviates the need for the direct object "los" here.

...los cualos él les llevó a ellos.

Or,

...y él se los llevó a ellos.

As always, this is just to the best of my knowledge.

Answer 3

It was more the qualifiers that were doing me
to them -se / a ellos the qualifier for the paper boys
he / el qualifying the tendero,
but fortunately James restructured it and removed that.
However I think I had them wrong way round even so

Answer 4

As for the order of the pronouns, when (as in your sentence) you have both an indirect and a direct object pronoun (governed by the same verb) the indirect always precedes the direct.

Answer 5

When "would" is used in English to express habitual past actions, rather than the conditional, the equivalent Spanish form is the imperfect, which would be ordenaba in this case. I didn't use that form because you didn't use it in your English version. If you are referring to habitual actions, though, all the verbs have to be in the same form, so the return of the shopkeeper would also be in the imperfect.

Cuando volvía el tendero, yo ordenaba los periódicos para que él se los llevara a los repartidores.

Answer 6

That seems to work for me

The iriía ordena was supposed to be iría a ordenar - i would go sort '''

Answer 7

The "yo iría ordenar" doesn't make sense here. Did you write this yourself?

When the shopkeeper returned, I sorted the papers for the paper boys, which he took to them.

Cuando volvío el tendero, ordené los periódicos para que él se los llevara a los repartidores.

I changed the wording a bit, because otherwise there is ambiguity about what the "los" refers to: the periódicos or the repartidores. There may be a better way to translate the English here.
