No the word order doesn't matter. The point is there is no title or name here just a simple reply of identification as any one of us might do, “hello’ it's me!”.

To translate John 6:20 as “I Am” in English violates the sense of the Scripture and good translation. Jesus is telling the disciples why they should not be afraid, he is there, it's him. It is I.

I agree with you. I simply mentioned the word order for the record, as some (not you) seem to give it undue attention.
