When we write objects after the verb, do we always write them in the order Direct Object followed by Indirect Object, like this?
(Les) cantaron una canción a Pedro y Pablo por su despedida.
Or can we change the order like this:
(Les) cantaron a Pedro y Pablo una canción por su despedida.
Thanks.
PS How can I find my answered questions? I don't seem to be getting notifications.

Hola Marcos
The natural order is the direct object right after the verb and then the indirect object, but it's not incorrect to swap the order.
I'll pass on your query about notifications.
