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.

This is also the sum of the pairwise averages of five consecutive triangular numnbers in A00217.  Start with A000217(0):(0+1)/2 + (1+3)/2 + (3+6)/2 + (6+10)/2 =15, which is the third term of this sequence.  Simply continue to create this sequence. - J. M. Bergot, Jun 13 2012
