st: order of arguments

Hellow All,
I am writing a do file (test.do) which will have 3 arguments a, b and c. When I run
do test apple 4 5
stata will think apple as a, 4 as b and so on. This might be a problem if your program displays the first argument and adds the last two and you run it in wrong order
do test 4 apple 5
Is there a way to have stata understand that apple is argument a, 4 is a and 5 is c despite the order of the parameters while running?
Thanks,
Tashi
