PHP echo is outputted in wrong order ?

[Matus]

I have a custom written PHP snippet which removes default entry meta text above post and then output custom one.

This is my code:

remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_post_info', 12 );
add_action('genesis_entry_header', 'custom_entry_meta');
function custom_entry_meta() {
if ( ! is_singular( 'post' ) & ! is_category('') & ! is_home() ) return;
	?>
		<p class="entry-meta">
			<?php echo "THIS SHOULD BE FIRST"; ?>
			<span class="entry-avatar">
				<?php echo get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('email'), 30); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="entry-author">
				<?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="entry-time">
				<?php echo $pfx_date = get_the_date( $format, $post_id ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="entry-categories">
				<?php the_category( ' ' ); ?>
			</span>
		</p>
	<?php
}

I'd like to display the echo values in the exact same order as it is written above.

The only echo script which isn't outputted at the right place is the first one (with the text "THIS SHOULD BE FIRST").

How can I make that echo which shows text "THIS SHOULD BE FIRST" be outputted as first?

It would help if you posted a link to a page that is using the script.

Also my website is in slovak language - WP admin is in english, so as instructions.
All you need to do after you login:
1. go to the homepage
2. Look at the first post

I wrote you there some details ?

Your content is outputting exactly as written in your plugin. If you examine the generated source code with your browser's inspect tool, you can see that the code is correct. https://victorfont.com/how-to-use-your-browsers-inspect-tool/

The reason why the avatar is displaying in front of the first echo is because the avatar has a float:left in CSS. Float left pushes the avatar in front of everything else. All you need to do is fix the css.

Thanks.

Adding this CSS code fixed the problem:

.avatar {
float:none;
}
