Does changing the order of keywords return different search results?

Usually you'll get different search results when you change word order in searches. This makes sense since, often, changing word order can imply very different search goals - a "search engine" is pretty different from an "engine search" (although it's very tricky for search engines to get this right).

Will using keywords in a particular order make a site more likely to be deemed relevant (and shown in results) for the keywords in that order (rather than other word orders)?

Likely you will "brand" the site to match the domain name, others will refer to you in that way, and you will more frequently searched for in that way - it make senses that your site would be more relevant to that word order than others.

Can a site be deemed relevant for words that are in a different order to the site's branding and/or domain name?

Of course - it has to be easier than with an entirely unrelated domain name, right? Wrong word order is at least pretty close ;)
