mkisofs -o cd_image.iso <flags from mkisofs man page> dir/ ?

I know that at the top of the mkisofs man page it says that the -o
option can come first; but the examples at the bottom of the man page
indicate to put the name of the output file first.

When I run mkisofs, I put it first; the basic syntax I offer above
works for me.

Generally I use:

mkisofs -o <filename>.iso -J -R -P "Joe" -sysid "BACKUP" -V "<meaningful string>" -l backup/

Almost always, I use the same name for the <filename> and for the
<meaningful string>.
