Is it wrong to say "ils n'ont fait rien" instead of "ils n'ont rien fait"

on the quiz: "we are leaving at four:" I chose "nous sortons à quatre," because I took it to mean "in the process of." But "partons" is correct, because "sortons" requires an actual place. Is that correct?

In some context, obviously, both are correct.
However, the main difference of usage is the position in the sentence:
- neuf is placed AFTER the noun- nouveau is placed BEFORE the noun
