For Mathematica order of partitions, see A080577.
EXAMPLE
The 6 strict partitions of 8 are [8], [7,1], [6,2], [5,3], [5,2,1], [4,3,1]. These are in positions 1,2,3,5,6,9 among the 22 unrestricted partitions of 8, with [5,1,1,1] and [4,4] positioned between [5,2,1] and [4,3,1]. Thus, a(8) = 2.
MATHEMATICA
q[n_, k_] := q[n, k] = Select[IntegerPartitions[n], DeleteDuplicates[#] == # &][[k]];
u[n_, k_] := u[n, k] = Position[IntegerPartitions[n], q[n, k]];
t[n_] := Table[u[n, k], {k, 1, PartitionsQ[n]}];
Table[-1 + Max[Differences[t[n]]], {n, 3, 10}]
