That order would be correct for a finite form, e.g. the present "es wird
weggenommen" (it is taken away) - note that "nehmen" is a strong verb
and takes -en in the past participle as well as changing its vowel, and
that "wegnehmen" is written as one word in the infinitive, with a
(separable) prefix. In the infinitive, it'd be "weggenommen werden" with
the auxiliary verb second.
