Adjusted joint rank sequence of (f(i)) and (g(j)) with f(i) before g(j) when f(i)=g(j), where f and g are the pentagonal numbers and the octagonal numbers. Complement of A186342.

EXAMPLE
First, write
1..5...12....22..35..... (pentagonal)
1....8....21........40.. (octagonal)
Then replace each number by its rank, where ties are settled by ranking the pentagonal number before the octagonal:
a=(1,3,5,7,8,10,12,13,15,...)=A186342
b=(2,4,6,9,11,14,16,19,21,...)=A186343.
