Which laundry layout should we choose?

We are building with a "galley" style laundry. Since everything is linear, how do I know which items go in which order from door to door? There is an internal sliding door to the hallway and an external door at the other end. I'm not even 100% certain the laundry sink/tub should go right next to washer... Probably overthinking my work flow but I'm currently functioning in such a dysfunctional space, I can't wrap my head around the ideal.

We have to configure washer, dryer (thinking on top of one another for space saving), stone bench top space (minimal, but needing consideration), and hopefully upper cabinetry at a later date, budget allowing. I believe a basic broom cupboard is also included.

Eg of my concerns: Builder is suggesting sink next to external door for practicality, but while I understand it would be practical for cleaning rather than, say the washer next to the door, I feel like a sink should be more central to the room, not right at the far end of it.

What are your best layout suggestions?
