Please could you confirm if the following sentence is incorrect.

Also, is there an alternative word order eg. a usted le va a gustar este libro

Hola E. L.

Both sentences are perfectly correct!

Este libro le va a gustar a usted.

A usted le va a gustar este libro.

They both mean "You are going to like this book."

The difference is simply one of emphasis. In the second sentence, placing a usted at the beginning gives more emphasis to the person who is going to like the book.

Remember that le is still necessary even when a usted is included.

I hope this helps!
