2013 pro, how many washer go on the jackshaft?
And in what order I have a thick one and a thinner one...

It depends on your clutch alignment.

Someone explain why the order of washers matters so I understand. Do they not just space the clutch out on the shaft, regardless of order??

For this application, the order really does not matter. That said, when you are shimming large and small rotating equipment. You never use more than three shims and you protect the thin (0.001-0.005) shims by sandwiching them between the thicker ones.

Hope that answers your question. If you were to have a really thin shim behind the clutch, putting it between the thicker ones would help it not to deform or hammer thinner, with use.
