For instance, a ‘normal’ A minor triad chord uses the notes A C E, in that order; the first inversion of A minor would be C, E, A. Same notes, different order!
So, if I have A C E and I change the "order of notes" to A E C, is that a different inversion?
The answer is no, they are both in root position.
Unfamiliar words can be looked up in my Glossary of musical terms.

In other words the statement 'inverting a chord just means the order of the notes in the chord is changed' is not a true statement.
Here's the definition: A chord inversion involves a note other than the root of the chord in the bass voice, or bass part. The idea of it is 'voice leading' aka 'part writing', or that's where 'inversions' started to happen, out of a kind of music that was made by combinations of parts, lines moving and harmony happened out of concordances from the lines.
I didn't want to be the first person here to start busting chops. Strikes me as kind of odd that a person that isn't conversing on the forum, one day decides a top-down approach, 'hey, I wrote an article, 'music theory tips and tricks' is the thing to do, though. Not that your article struck me as something to go to and find fault with, there's food for thought. But then I notice the free stuff functions as a front for things sold to Producers.
Note well: "An easy way to build up to the payoff – the “drop” – is to selectively cut out your bassline with a filter beforehand" is a Production Techniques tips and tricks anyway. Your market, your advertisers' market lies there more than here I bet.
