Bhagat Singh JiSri as an adjective is always written before the noun as in ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰਦੇਵਏ ਨਮਹ ॥੧॥.
So in Sat Sri Akal one would think Sri is written before the noun Akal. But Akal isn't a noun, it is an adjective.
Sat is a noun. So it could have easily been Sri Sat Akal. But Sat is not a person. It's a thing. Satchitananda is never referred to as Sri Satchitananda, unless it's a person's name. "Sat could be a person." In Guru Granth Sahib, Sri never comes after a name, always comes before, as seen in above example.
EDIT: To sum up, Sri is always written before a name of a person but neither Sat or Akal are names.
Sri as an adjective is always written before the noun ,
Any Adjective word can be used as prefix or suffix with Noun Word
Like as GuR POORAA
or
as POORAA GuR
Here the word POORAA is Adjective for Noun GUR
Both forms are there in SGGS
