Thanks for your remark CMcCullough, you're right that here the orders differs a bit from the usual scheme. Actually here both orders wouldn't be wrong, so we'll make sure the program accepts both orders in our next update.
Now, FYI here the order is like this because the place indication is a "destination", and whenever you have destinations or directions in German, they tend to go at the end of the phrase (after all other complements). So here even though it is possible to put "nach Spanien" before the direct object, we would only do so to draw emphasis on it, it is much more natural to say the phrase the other way around, whch is why it appeared like this in the software.
Hope this helps!
