I've been told that it's correct with this example:

> 遅れちゃった、寝過ごした **の** で。

But I don't understand why it's used like this because ので is the conjunctive
form of のです so it's used to connect the sentence with the result after (I know
that the result can be omitted) but it's not anymore logic if the result is
given before, why not simply use のです in this case ?

question
grammar word-order
Can "ので" be used to give the reason after the consequence is mentioned?
I believe this a case of a so called "dislocation" which happens in speech (or
a writing that imitates speech) - grammar of a sentence (寝過ごしたので遅れちゃった) is
broken in the way that the latter part is said first (it's what's on the
speaker's mind) and the rest is added for more information/clarification,
often as an afterthought ... resulting in the sentence you quoted.

So yes, in a normal grammatical sentence the ので would be attached after a
reason that would be stated first, followed by a consequence (either explicit
or just unstated, implied).

> 「遅{おく}れちゃった、寝過{ねす}ごした **ので** 。」

is a completely normal sentence in the real Japanese-speaking world. Japanese
word order, phrase order and clause order are **_far more flexible_** than it
appears to me that they are taught in Japanese-as-a-foreign-language.

Thus, it is an everyday occurence for certain conjunctions to be located at
the very end of the sentences. You will often see/hear a sentence structure
such as:

> 「(Result/Effect Clause)、+ (Reason/Cause Clause) + ので、から, etc. 。」

which is virtually the same in meaning as:

> 「(Reason/Cause Clause) + ので、から, etc. + (Result/Effect Clause)。」

Conjunctions in general are often placed at the very end of the sentences,
which seems to baffle some learners. Those conjunctions would include:

が、けど、けれども、のに、なのに, etc.
