The chinese translation reverses the order for what I remember.  The
Daichi's guidance[0] is indeed missing the point for order switching.

Here is a quick example:
msgid "%s/%s space left on %s (%s)"

If you prefer to specify the drive first for your translation:
msgstr "The device $3%s ($4%s) has $1%s/$2%s space left"

You append the %<format> with a $<position>.
