Integers having the same sum of divisors are sorted in ascending order, e.g., sigma(14)=sigma(15)=sigma(23)=24 -> a(15)=14, a(16)=15, a(17)=23.
Also an irregular triangle where the k-th row consists of all numbers with divisor sum k. See A054973(k) for the k-th row length. - Jeppe Stig Nielsen, Jan 29 2015
By definition this is a permutation of the positive integers. Also positive integers of A299762. - Omar E. Pol, Mar 14 2018

EXAMPLE
a(9) = 9, a(10) = 13, a(11) = 8 because sigma(9) = 9 + 3 + 1 = 13, sigma(13) = 13 + 1 = 14, sigma(8) = 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 15 and there are no other numbers with those sigma values.
