from
Wikipedia
The light that corresponds to direct transmission ( or specular reflection in the case of a reflection grating ) is called the zero order, and is denoted m = 0.
The other maxima occur at angles which are represented by non-zero integers m. Note that m can be positive or negative, resulting in diffracted orders on both sides of the zero order beam.
