tosettledownforthenight为什么在wheretheywere前面

There was nothing to make sure of the direction in the forest but so settle down for the night where they were

本句大意是：他们在森林里迷失了方向，只能在所在的地方安顿下来过夜。

where they were是地点状语从句，补充说明settle down

for the night表示“过夜”，放在句尾的话，这句话就好理解了：

There was nothing to make sure of the direction in the forest but to settle down where they were for the night.
