Is order important?

"In statistics, combinatorial data analysis (CDA) is the study of data sets where the order in which objects are arranged is important."

But Combination makes it very clear that for combinations, order does not matter. It's Permutations where order matters. Is there a "not" missing in the above sentence, or is this another instance of mathematicians being terrible at naming things? ThomasTC (talk) 09:39, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
