Parameter order

This command works:

set a to choose file name with prompt "Please name the file, and specify its location." default name "Extracted sigs" default location path to desktop

But prompt, default name, and default location have to be in that exact order; if the order is changed, the script won't compile.  For instance, if it's written this way:

set a to choose file name with prompt "Please name the file, and specify its location."default location path to desktop default name "Extracted sigs"

Attempting to compile it yields  syntax error dialog that says "Expected end of line, etc. but found identifier."

Was this always the case?

Lion, 10.7.4
