Chapter 2, PR #7 & #18

Salvete,
#7: Me vitare turbam iubes
I originally put, "You order the crowd to avoid me," thinking that turbam is in the direct object form because it's the direct object of the verb iubes. However, I checked Benissimus' Wheelock's answers, and it said #7 is supposed to be, "You order me to avoid the crowd." Why is it ordering me and now turbam? How would the sentence be changed to make it say, "You order the crowd to avoid me"?
#18: If your land is strong, nothing terrifies the sailors and you ought to praise your good fortune.
This is mainly about sentence order; all my noun and verb forms are the same as those in Benissimus' answer document. I put, "Si patria tua valet, nihil nautas terret et fortunam magnam tuam laudare debes." According to Benissimus, it's "Si valet tua patria, nihil nautas terret et debes magnam fortunam tuam laudare." Does the different sentence order change the meaning of the sentence?
Thanks in advance.
Valete.
Edit: I understand Benissimus' answers are not official, but I'm certainly not an advanced Latin student; I'm just a self-studier.
