The order of this sentence is inverted.
Inversion means that the order of subject and verb is reversed, meaning that the verb is located before the subject in a sentence, which is clearly the case here.
Natural order would mean that the subject comes first, declarative and imperative are not orders of the sentence but rather types of sentences.
