COMMENTS
The digits of each number n (written in base 10) are put into alphabetical order by their English name. This means a given term's digits must be in this order: 8, 5, 4, 9, 1, 7, 6, 3, 2, 0. It's easy to see that any n-digit term (with digits in this order) with distinct digits, none zero, occurs exactly n! times in the sequence.
Since 0 = "zero" is sorted last, this works well for the English language. But the same cannot be "coded without loss" on OEIS for languages where the name for 0 is not sorted last: E.g., in German, 0="null" comes before, e.g., 2="zwei", which would yield "02" for 20, but leading zeros are not allowed on the OEIS. - M.

EXAMPLE
a(14)=41 because the digits of 14, 1 (one) and 4 (four), are in alphabetical order when arranged as 4, then 1, so 41.
