Bonjour Chris,

As Chris replied, it is the same, indeed. However, in everyday speech / writing, you won't encounter it that way . To a French person, it would sound rather "clunky" ("Yoda-speech" like, if I may say so).

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !

Sure, it's just less commonly used.
