Understanding akka.discovery config - order of endpoints?

Does the order of endpoints mean anything in the akka.discovery config? Below is my config -

akka.discovery {
  config.services = {
    local-cluster = {
      endpoints = [
        {
          host = "127.0.0.2"
          port = 8560
        }
        {
          host = "127.0.0.1"
          port = 8560
        },
      ]
    }
  }
}

I noticed that the server on starting up probes the second endpoint in the list. Is the first endpoint supposed to correspond to itself?

I remember that Akka Cluster Bootstrap should choose the node with the lowest IP address as the seed node.

When using discovery for cluster bootstrap the list should include the node itself, but the order is not important.
