Word order
Is the word order correct? Or how should I change it?
"She drew the curtain aside a little to look out."
"She drew the curtain aside a little to look out."

Note that the following word orders (some a little edgy maybe grammatical-wise - there could be literary situations where this kind of offbeat word order is desirable, for rhythmic purposes, for example) are also okay:
She drew the curtain a little aside to look out.
She drew aside the curtain a little to look out.
She drew a little aside the curtain to look out.
She drew the curtain a little aside to look out.
She drew aside the curtain a little to look out.
She drew a little aside the curtain to look out.
