Maybe I'm not conventional… 
Many old 4D commands with verb first are really a mess to use (try "Set+tab" in 
code…). In recent chapters and some others, 4D began to use verb-in-second. 
Better but not enough IMHO. The "listbox" chapter in 4D commands is a good 
example to illustrate why; left is the way it is, right with verb at end (I 
made it fast, just to get the idea): 
<http://screencast.com/t/HdxuTGRrB>
From the list on the right:
1 commands are ordered by sub chapter inside the chapter (array, cell, column, 
grid…)
2 getter and setter are together
3 words are ordered the way we act with objects, hierarchic; when the langage 
is hierarchic, event if you don't remember the command name exactly, input is 
like a funnel: "listbox.column+tab": the coming list is short.
