Still trying to grasp how classes and methods and everything really works, but I was thinking, is there a special order you "should" list everything when you are declaring classes and so on? If you know what I mean..

There are lot of nice stuff, and a long there you can find the following part
The ordering of the members of a class can have a great effect on learnability, but there is no single correct recipe for how to do it. Different classes may order their members differently.
What is important is that each class order its members in some logical order, which its maintainer could explain if asked. For example, new methods are not just habitually added to the end of the class, as that would yield "chronological by date added" ordering, which is not a logical ordering.
