A permutation of odd numbers. Adding one to each term and then dividing by two gives a related table A254051, which for any odd number, located in this array as x = A(row,col), gives the result at A254051(row+1,col) after one combined Collatz step (3x+1)/2 -> x (A165355) has been applied.
Compare also to A135764.

With both row and col starting from 1:
a(n) = (2*A254051(n))-1.
Above in array form:

EXAMPLE
The top left corner of the array:
1, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 25, 29, 31, 35, ...
3, 15, 21, 33, 39, 51, 57, 69, 75, 87, 93, 105, ...
9, 45, 63, 99, 117, 153, 171, 207, 225, 261, 279, 315, ...
27, 135, 189, 297, 351, 459, 513, 621, 675, 783, 837, 945, ...
81, 405, 567, 891, 1053, 1377, 1539, 1863, 2025, 2349, 2511, 2835, ...

etc.
For n = 6, we have [A002260(6), A004736(6)] = [3, 1] (that is 6 corresponds to location 3,1 (row,col) in above table) and A(3,1) = A000244(3-1) * A007310(1) = 3^2 * 1 = 9.
For n = 9, we have [A002260(9), A004736(9)] = [3, 2] (9 corresponds to location 3,2) and A(3,2) = A000244(3-1) * A007310(2) = 3^2 * 5 = 9*5 = 45.
