sentence order (Time, Manner, Place)
"Hauptsache Ich fühle mich in meiner Wohnung wohl" is a sentence I encountered while studying, why wasn't it "Hauptsache Ich fühle mich wohl in meiner Wohnung" shouldn't the manner "wohl" comes before the place "in meiner Wohnung"

Question

Answer

Like Alexandre said, both sentences are correct and authentic. The first one is a bit more "classic" and the second one a bit more "everyday language", but both are good German.

We have an expression though, where idiomatically only one version is OK:
»Ich fühle mich wohl in meiner Haut.« In this case the other version would not sound authentic in my ears.

Answer

Both sentences are correct, but the first one sounds more natural to me. The word "wohl" in this sentence belongs to the separable verb "wohlfühlen" (reformed spelling: "wohl fühlen")  and therefore goes at the very end of the sentence. The second sentence occurs more often in spoken language. It is common for native speakers that they initially intend to finish the sentence after "Ich fühle mich wohl", but then decide to add some  more words to it ("... in meiner Wohnung").

and by the way: Why do you keep writing "ich"  with a capital  "I"? This is not something we do in German.
