Order of Transform

OpenGL does a post-order transform. THis means that if you specify something like

 glRotatef(45, 0, 0, 1);
 glTranslatef(20,0,0);
 glBegin(GL_QUADS);
 
  glVertex3f(-60,0,-10);
  glVertex3f(60,0,-10);
  glVertex3f(60,60,-10);
  glVertex3f(-60,60,-10);
  //glVertex3f(-10,0,0);
 
 glEnd();

The Quads will be translated and then followed by rotation.

The following code

 glTranslatef(20,0,0);
 glRotatef(45, 0, 0, 1);
 glBegin(GL_QUADS);
 
  glVertex3f(-60,0,-10);
  glVertex3f(60,0,-10);
  glVertex3f(60,60,-10);
  glVertex3f(-60,60,-10);
 
 glEnd();
 
 glPopMatrix();

would result in the Quad being rotated first before being translated.
