Is it best practice to place method bodies before or after they are called ? I generally place them after; interested in what others are doing ?

I prefer after. The reason for this is because it makes the flow of your code more logical. Code flows from top to bottom anyway, so it’s logical that methods called appear after the current method.
This has the added advantage of the entry point of your program/class being at the top, which is where you start looking anyway.
