It is a trick, the great unifying trick. The worst part is that maths has no philosophical scruples about this. Maths simply presents this as the truth, the one and only truth. Maths does not even accept any alternative model of approaching things. Order is what children are taught at school, not as a choice, but as the truth.
Most languages are modest regarding concepts such as truth.
People use words to describe something, in the hope that what one person describes will roughly approximate what somebody else imagines when using the same words. As long as people have roughly similar interpretations of the words they are using, they can successfully communicate. Language allows for a degree of flexibility - if there are doubts about what one tries to say, one uses other words, synonyms, further elaborations and descriptions, etc, to clarify areas where there may be confusion. In essence, language is an instrument to allow people to communicate. By contrast, maths regards itself as an instrument to find scientific truth.
