word order

Is there any general rule about how to follow the right word order when writing in English?
I'll give you an example. Which version of the following sentence is correct, 1 or 2?

1. "Share your opinion about this topic with your partner"
2. "Share your opinion with your partner about this topic"

I still struggle with such questions about the word order.
Thanks.
Regards

Which opinion? Your opinion about this topic. Not Your opinion with your partner.
