The ordering of transformations applied makes a difference. For example, scaling the point (1,1) by x=2 and y=3 and then translating it by x=1 and y=1 gives us the point (4,4). But translating it by x=1 and y=1 and then scaling it by x=2 and y=3 gives us (4,5). When multiple transformation are mentioned in a single map, the ordering is: translation, scaling, rotation, shearing, and then reflection. In general it is better to put separate transformations in separate maps in the sequence so there is no confusion. Transforms in the sequence are applied in order.
