Should "siempre" come before or after a conjugated verb in a question?

Which sentence order is correct?

"Qué siempre pides en los restaurantes?"

"Qué pides siempre en los restaurantes?"


Thanks in advance.

Siempre sometimes takes on a different meaning when it follows the verb.

Hoy voy siempre a casa después de trabajo.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this may mean. Today I'm going directly home after work.

siempre voy a casa después del trabajo = voy siempre a casa después del trabajo = voy a casa siempre después del trabajo = voy a casa después del trabajo, siempre (in order of intelligibility)

siempre directly
