Order of the words to emphasize meaning

I would like to ask what is the difference between these two sentences:

a) We need to prioritize badly injured people.

b) We need to prioritize people badly injured.

Is b) stressing more the fact that there are people injured?

Solution 1:

No, there is no inherent difference in meaning between the two options. But Option A reads more clearly.

The noun phrase in this sentence contains three words: people, injured, and badly. The noun is people and the other two words act as modifiers. The word badly is modifying injuired, and together they modify people.

The common model for noun phrases is to place modifiers before nouns. So the preferred syntax here is badly injured people.
