What dictates the word order here?

The Chinese grammar. Obviously it's best to start out with 请

随便 as an adverb always goes before the verb which in this case is 坐

You can replace 坐 with another verb and 随便 will go before it

[ShaneCrill]

Place before verb?

What about 请您随便坐 ?

[jsjb369]

[M.Namie]

Yes, infact I reported it time ago and then they answered me they now accept also this translation :)

Is it wrong to put “坐下?”

[RaffaellaS722783]

Does somebody know why I can't put 您 after 随便? Thank you

Why is this not acceptable? 请您坐随便

[TimReturns]

I think it should be accepted. It was not accepted for me today (Jan 3, 2022).
