I've been writing SQL for something like 25 years and always thought the columns being SELECTed should have come last, not first. Naming your sources before what you're trying to get from them to me at least makes much more logical sense. Calling aliased table names before I have done the aliasing is weird.

Also it would make autocomplete in intelligent IDEs much more helpful when typing a query out from nothing.
