Lojban isn't clearly of one order or the other, since it treats sets and properties and the like on a par with tree and dogs. There is no particular problem in grammar or vocabulary to treating properties of predicates and quantification over them. There are some arguments about the correct way to express a predicate as an argument, but that seems to revolve around just what a predicate is in Lojban ontology. All the answers yield grammatical and intelligible results, though sometimes different ones. None of them seem particularly stilted, but I haven't seen enough cases to get a feel for that.
