 In Loglan1 JCB mentions putting the modifying words before the word being modified because that is how it is done in the majority of languages. 

I think the general rule is that languages that use prepositions tend to have adjectives following the noun they modify, with Germanic languages (such as English) being exceptional in this respect. So Lojban doesn't follow the general rule.
