Lightbulb What is "Short One First" rule?

What is "Short One First" rule?
Can someone explain to me the "Short One First " rule and give me some other example similar to the below one please.
Ex:It is the lack of gravity on the moon that makes possible leaps of 30 feet or more
Thanks!!!

Codename Gordon 's dreams are becoming reality.
I don't know what this is, but I guess they mean that a sentence is more understandable when you put the shorter part first: Leaps of 30 feet or more are possible becasue of the lack of gravity on the Moon.

Anyone else have a suggestion?

You can't be happy if you depend on the approval of others.
