1. When we arrived, Jan made some fresh coffee.
2. Jan made some fresh coffee when we arrived.
#1 implies that the arrival came before the coffee-making.
What about #2?
Does it also imply that the arrival came before the coffee-making?

Does it also imply that the arrival came before the coffee-making? Yes, the meaning/implication is the same in both sentences.
