Shortlex order

Shortlex order

The shortlex (or radix, or length-plus-lexicographic) order is an ordering for ordered sets of objects, where the sequences are primarily sorted by cardinality (length) with the shortest sequences first, and sequences of the same length are sorted into lexicographical order.
