  "In the order of importance" means ascending. Basically if you're applying to 5-6 jobs, try to schedule the one you want the most last, so that when (not if) you bomb some aspect of an earlier interview, it doesn't a) completely depress you for the rest of the interviews, and b) can be a learning experience for later interviews that you ideally would like to get offers from more.

  >> This isn’t to say that you should in any way not prepare for those earlier interviews Implies ascending order so that you are well prepared for the later more important ones by rectifying the mistakes you made in the previous ones.

    You shouldn't have to think that hard in order to understand what someone wrote. As someone who spent many years with my writings misinterpreted, simple word choice is always better than relying on context.

  Yeah, this was definitely lazy writing. I think the author meant to say that you should schedule real interviews you care less about prior to those you actually want. That way, you have a few warm ups with real skin in the game, but if you bomb it's not going to take away a serious opportunity. I usually do this with interviews at Amazon since it's fun to waste their time.
