JavaScript (Typescript for the type part) and python, the most popular scripting languages, use the same order as PHP.

It's usually compiled languages that do the other one.

TypeScript doesn't need the "function" keyword for a method in an object or on a class though.

const foo = {
  bar(): string {
   ... 
  } 
}

which I assume is doable because the syntax is unambiguous.

In PHP's case, the method syntax should also be unambiguous.
