It can be confusing at first. Settings can, and sometimes must, come before the image. -page, -size, and -gravity are settings. Operations go after the image(s) they are to operate on. -repage, -rotate, and -layers are operations.
Good to know, I will research the two (operations and settings) a bit for future reference.

Rule of thumb: list the operations in their logical, chronological, sequence. You want IM to read a file, then to rotate it, then to repage it, then to save it. If a setting affects an operation, put before the operation.

Don't forget to reset or turn off settings that may effect later operations.
