The swastika in the decoration has no special significance I am aware of. As far as I know, it was a rather common motif in the early 20th century national romantic art.
Akseli Gallén-Kallela used it quite a lot in his works. (Note: the decorations of this order were created in 1918, the Nazis formed their party in 1920s.) --
