I don't know - do you?   I'll assume that you don't, since you've asked us...

My preference is to place it after the chain name:

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy -p tcp -m
tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080

However other people sometimes place it before.

Antony.
