Since current_order starts as MAX_ORDER-1 and is then only decremented, the second half of the loop condition seems superfluous. However, if order is 0, we may decrement current_order past 0, making it UINT_MAX. This is obviously too subtle ([1], [2]). Since we need to add some comment anyway, change the two variables to signed, making the counting-down for loop look more familiar, and apparently also making gcc generate slightly smaller code.
