I much prefer the style of the comment you replied to because it's very easy (for me) to scan the table/view names when they are vertically aligned.

They are at the top of the hierarchy of information I want when I'm reading a query.

The information I want to be able to identify the quickest are.

1. Tables/view names

2. How they are joined

3. Columns

4. Filters

5. Grouping/Ordering/Anything Else
