It does use the order:
double discount = i == 0 ? 1.0 : 1.0 / log2(i + 1);
The "score" you gain for recommending a relevant item decreases as you
go down the list of recommendations.
As the comments in the code note, relevance is 1 for relevant items
and 0 for others. There is no point in showing a term multiplied by 1,
or 0.
