find's expressions are order-sensitive and look like options, which is probably why the real options go zeroth, then the starting path goes first. Also, there is a-path-match expression that means something different than that starting path.That said, there's nothing stopping the writing of a wrapper script that allows any placement or intermingling of any of those groupings.
The simplest would just grab the last argument and use it in the first position, which I'm guessing is what the meme creator really wants. Watch out for the edge case of whitespace in the path name. (And the edge case of the edge case where the end part of that path is valid but not the intended target.)
