COMMENTS

The rational numbers may be totally ordered, first by height (see A002246) and then by magnitude; every rational number of height n appears in this ordering at a position <= a(n).

This ordering of the rationals is given in A113136/A113137.

The old entry with this sequence number was a duplicate of A027356.
