Dunno if it's worth mentioning, but in the recent episode of the anime (ep. 47), Dio in one instance says "Tomare toki yo" (which, correct me if I'm wrong, would translate to "Stop time"). I think it's the time stop before he throws his knives at Jotaro.

So maybe the anime are just deciding to switch things up by having him alternate between saying "Toki yo tomare" (Time, stop) and "Tomare toki yo" (Stop time). The former makes it sound like Dio is commanding time to stop, while the latter - when combined with him shouting his Stand's name to make "ZA WARUDO Tomare toki yo" (The World; stop time) - makes it sound like Dio is commanding The World to stop time.

Either way, this probably comes off as a nitpick. He's still commanding time to stop on his behalf regardless.
