I am looking for a word (which may not exist!). It means something like «relating to the order in which things are written down or expressed»; not, however, the the order in a dictionary (that would be «lexicographical») but rather the order in normal writing.
So, if the word was «freddographical» I could talk about English and French being freddographically different because in English one says «blue car» but in French it is «auto bleu». Equally, in the UK we write a date 30/04/2011 but in the US they write 04/30/2011; I would call that a freddographical difference.

I think the word you are looking for is «respectively.»

Ordinal
In the absence of any specific qualifier such as lexical or chronological, it would probably be just ordinal I guess.

You might get away with «precedence» or «priority», though of course neither refers to this specific case.
«Subsequence» or «posteriority» refer to something that follows something else, with «precedence», «antecedence» or «anteriority» working in the other direction.
Are you allowed to coin a term yourself, if you can’t find one? Could languages be ordoverborically different? 
Have a look at the WP Word Order page for some hints at how this gets expressed by others.

The word is syntactically, from:
syntax : 1. (Linguistics) the branch of linguistics that deals with the grammatical arrangement of words and morphemes in the sentences of a language or of languages in general
Your sentence becomes:
English and French are syntactically different because in English one says «blue car» but in French it is «auto bleu».

In this context, I think the phrase you are looking for is «word order». I’d agree with Kris that «ordinal» would apply in a more general sense, as in, «having to do with order».

The best terms would be typology or morphology, or derivations (such as typological).
Linguistic typology is a field of linguistics that studies and classifies languages according to their structural features. Morphological typology is a way of classifying the languages of the world according to their common morphological structures, and on the basis of how those languages form words by combining morphemes.
«English and French are typologically different because in English one says «blue car» but in French it is «auto bleu». Equally, in the UK we write a date 30/04/2011 but in the US they write 04/30/2011; I would call that a typological difference.»

In English, the word order is strict. That means we can’t place parts of the sentence wherever we want, but we should follow some certain rules when making sentences. These rules apply not only to formal language but also to everyday spoken English. So, we should learn and always follow them.
Direct word order and inversion
When the sentence is positive (affirmative), the word order is direct. That means the verb follows the subject.
Examples
Caroline is a local celebrity. Caroline = subject, is = verb
We work remotely. We = subject, work = verb
You have been learning Spanish for two years. You= subject, have been learning = verb
In questions (interrogative sentences) the subject and the verb swap places. We call it indirect word order, or inversion.
Examples
Am I right? WRONG I am right?
How old are they? WRONG How old they are?
What day is it today? WRONG What day it is today?
If there is an auxiliary verb, its first word will precede the subject.
Examples
Are you sleeping?
Have you read my message?
Will you help me, please?
Has anyone been looking for me?
Will he have finished the job by 5 o’clock?
Direct and indirect objects
The object normally goes right after the verb. We don’t put any other words between them.
I like my job very much. WRONG like very much my job
He meets his friends every Friday. WRONG meets every Friday his friends
In the examples above, the object is direct. A direct object answers the question «whom» or «what» and there is no preposition after the verb. If we can’t put the object without a preposition (talk to smb, agree with smb, rely on smb), the object is indirect.
I’m not satisfied with my test score.
Let’s talk about the new project.
Now, if we have two objects, one is indirect and the other is direct, then the direct object has the priority to go first.
The professor explained the concept to the students. WRONG to the student the concept
He said nothing about those errors. WRONG about those errors nothing
If there are two direct objects and one of them is a pronoun, the pronoun goes behind the verb.
Could you show me the way, please? WRONG the way me
They wished her luck. WRONG luck her
Place and time
Expressions of time and place usually go together after the verb and the object (if there is one). We first indicate the place (where, where to) and then the time (when, how often, how long).
Examples
We go {to the theatre} {every month}. where=to the theatre, how often=every month
There were lots of people {in the park} {on Sunday}. where=in the park, when=on Sunday
Jim will give me a lift {to the station} {after the meeting}. where to=to the station, when=after the meeting
lt is often possible to put time at the beginning of the sentence.
At this time tomorrow, we’ll be going to the airport.
Sometimes I want to be alone.
Summary
Let’s briefly sum up the rules:
- Positive sentence: subject + verb. Question sentence: verb + subject
- Do not split the verb and the object
- Direct objects go before the indirect objects
- If one of two direct objects is a pronoun, it goes first
- Place goes before time

Grammar
USING “IN ORDER THAT” ( AS A CONJUNCTION ) IN ENGLISH
There are various ways to express the purpose or reason in English. One of them is “In Order That”
We use “in order that” as a conjunction ( subordinating conjunction ) to introduce clauses of reason and explanation.
We can say that it is used to explain why an action is done.
Namely;
- “in order that” is a conjunction which is used to join two clauses. ( one of them expresses an action, the other expresses the purpose )
- “in order that” is used before the clause which indicates the purpose.
- The clause after “in order that” generally includes a modal ( like can, could, may, might, will or would ).
A Clause ( Action ) + In Order That + A Clause ( Purpose )
We can also use “so that” for expressing purpose in english.

MORE ABOUT PUT IN ORDER
What does put in order mean?
Put in order means to arrange something in the proper or desired sequence.
Often, the things being arranged are included in the phrase, as in I put the books in order on the shelf while cleaning my room.
Put in order is sometimes followed by a more detailed description of how something was arranged, such as Put these in order from largest to smallest.
Sometimes, put in order means to make a situation orderly, as in I need to put my affairs in order before my trip. This is what’s meant by the similar phrase put one’s house in order, in which the word house really refers to one’s life. It’s especially used to criticize someone else’s life by suggesting that it needs to be put in order because it’s a mess.
Example: The assignment is to put the words in order from longest to shortest.
Where does put in order come from?
The phrase put in order likely dates back to at least the 1400s. The phrase combines the verb put, meaning “to place something somewhere,” and the phrase in order, which means “in a proper arrangement or sequence.”
For things to be put in order, you need an order to put things into. For this reason, put in order is usually used in the context of items that can be organized in a specific way, like books organized alphabetically by author.
The order, though, can be based on any trait the items share, such as size, color, or weight. Dishes could be put in order by size, with all the small plates stacked in one pile and all the large plates stacked in another. Your clothes could be put in order in your closet by color, with all your black shirts together, all your red shirts together, and so on. The order is really up to the person doing the ordering.

How is put in order used in real life?
Put in order is used when people are trying to arrange things in a correct or desired way.

Normally, sentences in the English language take a simple form. However, there are times it would be a little complex. In these cases, the basic rules for how words appear in a sentence can help you.
Word order typically refers to the way the words in a sentence are arranged. In the English language, the order of words is important if you wish to accurately and effectively communicate your thoughts and ideas.
Although there are some exceptions to these rules, this article aims to outline some basic sentence structures that can be used as templates. Also, the article provides the rules for the ordering of adverbs and adjectives in English sentences.
Basic Sentence Structure and word order rules in English
For English sentences, the simple rule of thumb is that the subject should always come before the verb followed by the object. This rule is usually referred to as the SVO word order, and then most sentences must conform to this. However, it is essential to know that this rule only applies to sentences that have a subject, verb, and object.
For example
Subject + Verb + Object
He loves food
She killed the rat
Sentences are usually made of at least one clause. A clause is a string of words with a subject(noun) and a predicate (verb). A sentence with just one clause is referred to as a simple sentence, while those with more than one clause are referred to as compound sentences, complex sentences, or compound-complex sentences.
The following is an explanation and example of the most commonly used clause patterns in the English language.
Inversion
InversionThe English word order is inverted in questions. The subject changes its place in a question. Also, English questions usually begin with a verb or a helping verb if the verb is complex.
For example
Verb + Subject + object
Can you finish the assignment?
Did you go to work?
Intransitive Verbs
Some sentences use verbs that require no object or nothing else to follow them. These verbs are generally referred to as intransitive verbs. With intransitive verbs, you can form the most basic sentences since all that is required is a subject (made of one noun) and a predicate (made of one verb).
For example
Subject + verb
John eats
Christine fights
Linking Verbs
Linking verbs are verbs that connect a subject to the quality of the subject. Sentences that use linking verbs usually contain a subject, the linking verb and a subject complement or predicate adjective in this order.
For example
Subject + verb + Subject complement/Predicate adjective
The dress was beautiful
Her voice was amazing
Transitive Verbs
Transitive verbs are verbs that tell what the subject did to something else. Sentences that use transitive verbs usually contain a subject, the transitive verb, and a direct object, usually in this order.
For example
Subject + Verb + Direct object
The father slapped his son
The teacher questioned his students
Indirect Objects
Sentences with transitive verbs can have a mixture of direct and indirect objects. Indirect objects are usually the receiver of the action or the audience of the direct object.
For example
Subject + Verb + IndirectObject + DirectObject
He gave the man a good job.
The singer gave the crowd a spectacular concert.
The order of direct and indirect objects can also be reversed. However, for the reversal of the order, there needs to be the inclusion of the preposition “to” before the indirect object. The addition of the preposition transforms the indirect object into what is called a prepositional phrase.
For example
Subject + Verb + DirectObject + Preposition + IndirectObject
He gave a lot of money to the man
The singer gave a spectacular concert to the crowd.
Adverbials
Adverbs are phrases or words that modify or qualify a verb, adjective, or other adverbs. They typically provide information on the when, where, how, and why of an action. Adverbs are usually very difficult to place as they can be in different positions in a sentence. Changing the placement of an adverb in a sentence can change the meaning or emphasis of that sentence.
Therefore, adverbials should be placed as close as possible to the things they modify, generally before the verbs.
For example
He hastily went to work.
He hurriedly ate his food.
However, if the verb is transitive, then the adverb should come after the transitive verb.
For example
John sat uncomfortably in the examination exam.
She spoke quietly in the class
The adverb of place is usually placed before the adverb of time
For example
John goes to work every morning
They arrived at school very late
The adverb of time can also be placed at the beginning of a sentence
For example
On Sunday he is traveling home
Every evening James jogs around the block
When there is more than one verb in the sentence, the adverb should be placed after the first verb.
For example
Peter will never forget his first dog
She has always loved eating rice.
Adjectives
Adjectives commonly refer to words that are used to describe someone or something. Adjectives can appear almost anywhere in the sentence.
Adjectives can sometimes appear after the verb to be
For example
He is fat
She is big
Adjectives can also appear before a noun.
For example
A big house
A fat boy
However, some sentences can contain more than one adjective to describe something or someone. These adjectives have an order in which they can appear before a now. The order is
Opinion – size – physical quality – shape – condition – age – color – pattern – origin – material – type – purpose
If more than one adjective is expected to come before a noun in a sentence, then it should follow this order. This order feels intuitive for native English speakers. However, it can be a little difficult to unpack for non-native English speakers.
For example
The ugly old woman is back
The dirty red car parked outside your house
When more than one adjective comes after a verb, it is usually connected by and
For example
The room is dark and cold
Having said that, Susan is tall and big
