It just means "when serialized" i.e. when written into binary or JSON for storage / transmission; the "wire format ordering" one is emphasizing that maps have no defined order whether in-memory or serialized, and you should not rely on the order in which elements appear when serialized - on disk / socket / whatever they can appear in *any order they want*, which has nothing whatsoever to do with the order they were added. The "on the wire" is used multiple times, but again, always means "when written to binary or JSON".
