I think the mental ordering you use depends on whether you're used to thinking about matrix math.

`<div style="translate(80px, 80px) scale(1.5, 1.5) rotate(45deg)"></div>`
 
gives the same result as:
```
   <div style="transform: translate(80px, 80px)">
        <div style="transform: scale(1.5, 1.5)">
            <div style="transform: rotate(45deg)"></div>
        </div>
    </div>
```
and since ancestors are painted before descendants, describing this in terms of the translate being applied first makes sense. Someone designing this in a tool would first translate, then scale, then rotate.
