A317550 Lexicographically first sequence of different terms, starting with a(1) = 0 and showing a 3-step roller coaster of digits (see the Comments section).

Comments

After the digit 0 that starts the sequence, we have the 2nd digit of the sequence that is > 0, then the 3rd digit that is > the 2nd digit, then the 4th digit that is > the 3rd digit, then the 5th digit that is < the 4th digit, then the 6th digit that is < the 5th digit, etc. Considering the sequence from the digit-size point of view, we could see it as a kind of roller coaster going up three steps, than down three steps, than up a again three steps, etc.
