eduPersonAffiliation is defined by REFEDS and we follow their guidelines, though there is a great deal of leeway allowed in how these are defined. Order refers to how we determine your eduPersonPrimaryAffiliation which must be a single value.
Note that many accounts will have multiple affiliations.
