Change order in which info is displayed upon entering rooms?

I wanted to know if there is any way to change the order that descriptions, directions, ect. appear in the game. For example, when my character climbs up a ladder, the text reads:
You are at the top of a ladder.
You can see a minute hand.
You can go down.
The tops of the bookcases are layered with dust. It's a bit drafty up here.
That sounds jumbled to me. I would like the description of the room to come first, then the objects in the room, then the direction the character is able to go. Is there a way to change the order this information appears to the player?
Thanks!

13 Jan 2018, 05:09see here at the very bottom of the page of this link, about the 'Room Descriptions' Tab of the special 'game' Game Settings Object:
http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/ui-style.html
'game' Object -> 'Room Descriptions' Tab -> (see the bottom I think, the controls/options that you want are the 'automatically generate room descriptions, the '1-4' numbers of the 4 various displayment info is their ordering, change the numbers to how you want them to be ordered, and changing it to a '0' means it doesn't get displayed)
the special 'game' Game Settings Object (see above), has a lot of the controls/options for game-wide effects, just look at its various Tabs and options/controls within/of/for its Tabs
