In the presence of linear order, first-order logic with a least fixed point operator gives P, the problems solvable in deterministic polynomial time.
So, what does "linear order" mean here?

It just means that the (finite) structures under consideration also have a distinguished linear order relation. (Or, alternatively, the languages always have a distinguished binary relation symbol $\leq$ that is always interpreted to be a linear order.)
