Transposition Order


An ordering of permutations in which each two adjacent permutations differ by the transposition of two elements. For the permutations of {1,2,3} there are two listings which are in transposition order. One is 123, 132, 312, 321, 231, 213, and the other is 123, 321, 312, 213, 231, 132.
