Why a LIMIT clause is placed after ORDER clause in MySQL?

SELECT price FROM products LIMIT 1 ORDER BY price; 

this is wrong but

SELECT price FROM products  ORDER BY price LIMIT 1; 

this is okay, why?

Your SELECT statement has two (2) clauses: ORDER BY and LIMIT.

Per the MySQL SELECT syntax, clauses are defined in a specific sequence as shown in the following image from the MySQL website's SELECT syntax page.

The ORDER BY clause is allowed before the LIMIT clause, but not the reverse.
