Does order matter here? srcset="photo-@2x.jpg 2x, photo@-1x.jpg 1x" vs. srcset="photo-@1x.jpg 1x, photo-@2x.jpg 2x"

Does it matter whether you list the larger resolution photo first before the smaller resolution?

According to Mozilla.org not only does the order not seem to matter, but the 1x picture can be used as your src element and your 2x as your srcset. You don't need to type it twice.

Nick says you need to put the larger picture first, like you have it, but whether you ABSOLUTELY MUST do it, or it won't work, I don't know. Hope that helps! :)
