"public static" or "static public"?

OK, so it's a Friday hence a random debate.... What is preferred for class methods? class foo { static public function bar(){} public static function wibble(){} } ?? All methods are valid, but are some more valid than others? :p Checking ZF: [colin@jimmy Zend (working)]$ cgrep "public static function" . |wc -l 755 [colin@jimmy Zend (working)]$ cgrep "static public function" . |wc -l 60 It's clear which is preferred there, but still not absolutely consistent (I didn't bother checking differently scoped methods). I personally prefer scope first then "static", but others may have valid reasons/arguments for preferring the other way. WDYT?
