A302504
Lexicographically first sequence of distinct terms such that any set of nine successive digits can be reordered as {d, d+1, d+2, d+3, d+4, d+5, d+6, d+7, d+8}, d being the smallest of the nine digits.

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 34, 56, 78, 91, 23, 45, 67, 80, 123, 456, 780, 1234, 567, 89, 12345, 678, 912, 345, 6780, 123456, 789, 1234567, 801, 234, 5678, 9123, 4567, 891, 2345, 6789, 12345678, 91234, 56780, 123456780, 123456789

COMMENTS
As the digit 0 has no predecessor and the digit 9 has no successor here, sets of successive digits like {7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0,9} and {2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0} are forbidden.
EXAMPLE
Terms a(1) to a(10) are obvious;
a(11) is 12 because 12 is the smallest integer not yet in the sequence such that the elements of the sets {2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1} and {3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2} are nine consecutive digits;
a(12) is 34 because 34 is the smallest integer not yet in the sequence such that the elements of the sets {4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3} and {5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3,4} are nine consecutive digits;
a(13) is 56 because 56 is the smallest integer not yet in the sequence such that the elements of the sets {6,7,8,9,1,2,3,4,5} and {7,8,9,1,2,3,4,5,6} are nine consecutive digits;
etc.
