Explanation:
It is important in permutations by the definition of the word "permutation". If we ignore order, then we are discussing / choosing "combinations".
Given set { a , b , c , d } , if we count ab and ba as the same, then we are counting combinations.
If they are counted as different, then we are counting permutation.
