How important is the order the exercises are written in?

The strength training is more important than the matrix, so keep it at the end, and modify it (tone it down).
If you can't do 12 jumping lunges or jump squats, start with a number that you can complete. If you fail at the 3rd, start with just 1 or 2. Work up over time.

Two: I have lost over a hundred pounds prior to starting the book. I'm following the book and doing so well and seeing the most difference from any workout I've done in the past. My question is do you think the loose skin will tone as I complete the book? I'm hooked on the book, I call it my bible. Thanks, Sharon

Most of the time, loose skin is skin with a layer of fat behind it. It can 'tighten' as you lose more fat, but not always and not always all the way. Only time and more fat loss will tell.
I've seen videos of "loose skin" removal, and when they show the skin that's been removed, there's always a thick layer of fat there. With that fat there, how could the skin have tightened up? It remains "loose" while the fat remains.
There may be a point when you just can't (or aren't willing to) lose more fat, in which case surgery might be something to look at.
