Hola Horace C.

"EN sentence order" means you should keep the original English sentence structure as it is, without rearranging the word order.

In the example "There I met don Manuel", the phrase starts with "There" for emphasis or style. So when you're translating or working with that sentence, you should keep that same structure and avoid moving "there" to another position in the sentence.

This helps ensure your answer stays faithful to the original English sentence.

Hope that clears it up!

Saludos

Silvia
