I think there is a difference.  A collation is a database object, a 
collation order is the order produced when invoking that collation.  For 
example, in amcheck.sgml:

"""
... an inconsistency in the collation order between a primary server and 
a standby server ...
"""

If we wrote just "collation" here I think it would be less clear, 
because what's the problem is whether the order is different, not 
whether the collation objects are different.
