The following sentence is from "Spiegel".
Alles begann damit, daß viele Bewohner Hongkongs sich nicht mehr gängeln lassen wollten.
Firstly, The rule is, when a noun and a pronoun occur together in a subordinate clause, then the shorter of the two comes first. Secondly, when two infinitive forms come together in a subordinate clause, the finite verb comes immediately before the first infinitive. Thus: ....daß sich viele Bewohner nicht mehr wollten gängeln lassen.
Firstly, The rule is, when a noun and a pronoun occur together in a subordinate clause, then the shorter of the two comes first
It's pronouns before nouns. But that's not a rule, only a tendency, and another tendency says subject before objects. Both variants are okay.
Secondly, when two infinitive forms come together in a subordinate clause, the finite verb comes immediately before the first infinitive.
That's an alternative to the general rule the finite form comes last. It creates a pretty tight tension and you should not use it unless you want that tension.
