phrase's order

I've read in an old post
(http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0308d&L=conlang&F=&S=&P=5853)
that:

>looking at word order typology, we have the following:
>
>SOV = 45% of the world's languages
>SVO = 42%
>VSO = 9%
>VOS = 3%
>OVS = 0.9%
>OSV = 0.1%
but with a language where it is not constant what do we do?

I don't mean when it changes with the question form or something like this.

In frensh, the order will be SVO if the object is a noun or an adjective

"Je mange une pomme" I eat an apple
"J'aime ma femme" I love my wife
"Je deviens vieux" I become old

but if the object is a pronoun it will become SOV

"Je la mange" I eat it(feminine, like "pomme")
"Je t'aime" I love you
"Je le deviens" I become it

So how is Frensh classed in these statistics??
