The usual behavior of latex is to write theorems as

Theorem 2.1.1

but I would like to have

2.1.1 Theorem

I think I remember seeing a command that allows you to do that but I don't remember it, any ideas ?

This question could use some more detail to ensure that you get an answer that pertains to the question. Are you defining the theorem inside of some environment? What environment? What package provides the environment? – Paul Stiverson Jun 16 '15 at 17:59
This relies heavily on the package you may be using that provides you with theorem-writing capabilities (if any). Please present the community with a minimal working example (MWE) that replicates your current behaviour. – Werner Jun 16 '15 at 18:00

it amsthm is being used, the question cited by @Werner is definitely a duplicate. – barbara beeton Jun 16 '15 at 18:06
Yes I am using amsthm and indeed the question linked answers mine. Thanks a lot ! – anton Jun 16 '15 at 18:19

Uese \swapnumbers in your preamble, before declaring your theorem-like structures. – Bernard Jun 16 '15 at 18:22
As long there is no indication which package is used, there is no clear duplicate, in my point of view – Jun 16 '15 at 19:51
