Wouldn't you need to put anyMatrix first, since matrix multiplication isn't commutative?

Huh? Identity times anyMatrix is also anyMatrix. The matrix just has to have the right dimensions

You are right. I will correct it.

No I just tried it and I was wrong, it seems like it doesn't matter for the ID matrix specifically

I need to freshen up on my linear algebra. I don't remember on which sense it goes but I think if you swap the factors, you'll have to you transpose the matrix x to keep the same result.
