Why "mi van elöl" and not "mi elöl van"? Does this thing change in questions, or am I missing something?

Why is it Elol mi... instead of Mi elol...Is there a rule of sorts for placing question words?
The main rule is that the verb must be immediately after the question word. Other than that, parts can move around. The neutral version is "Mi van elől?".
You can also ask "Elől mi van?", which stresses the fact that you are asking what is in front. This is (only) appropriate if the conversation has already established that something else is somewhere else.
