In an active sentence the basic word order is S-V-O (subjectThe person or thing that performs the action of a verb or that is described by a verb. E.g.: Andy has never been to Brunei. ("Andy"), verbA part of speech that expresses an action or a state. E.g.: John seldom plays tennis. and objectA person or thing that is affected by the action of a verb or involved in the result of an action.). When we transform it into the passive voiceThe form of the transitive verb that shows whether the subject acts (active voice) or is acted upon (passive voice)., the word order remains the same but the object of the active sentence (1) becomes the subject of the passive sentence and the subject of the active sentence (2) (the doer of the actionA general term expressing that somebody or something does something) may or may not be mentioned.
