how to use "move"
I moved from a farm to a city.
I moved to a city from a farm.

Either is OK?
Or I shouldn't put from and to in the opposite position?

I got "from A to B" on the net but I think "moved to a city from a farm" is more easy to say.

Answer

In English it is more common to use the "from____ to____" structure.  I can understand your meaning when you say "I moved to a city from a farm", but it is less clear than "I moved from a farm to a city".  Using "I moved to a city from a farm" will cause your listener to think longer about what you are saying, whereas "I moved from a farm to a city" is very clear and will not cause your listener to hesitate at your meaning.
