Sentence Order

皆さん、こんにちは
I just had a little question about sentence order.
I know it can be changed around sometikmes since there is particles, though.
Anyways.
So, say I wanted to say:
Aiko's father comes home late (from work) everyday.
Woiuld it be like:
愛子さんのお父さんは遅く毎日(仕事から)うちに帰ります。
Or
愛子さんのお父さんは毎日(仕事から)うちに遅く帰ります。
Or is both good, or both wrong?
ありがとうございます

The second one sounds better.

The farther away you get from the main verb, the more extraneous the information becomes. So the second sentence shows that the focus is on the fact that he comes home "late".

How about:

愛子さんのお父さんは、毎日深夜にうちに帰ります。
愛子さんのお父さんは、毎日夜遅く帰宅します。

thanks.
So, The first one makes sence.
"I return (home) late every day"
2nd one, like
"I'm late returning (home) everyday"?
and the 3rd
"I return home late every day."
okai, i think i get it. thanks~
