::: OEIS says "this kind of counting sequence", so maybe "digit counting sequence"? If name has to be "*verb*-and say", the verb is better as "Count" IMO since sorting is not essential. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 00:42, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

::: For the task name, the word '''sort''' (as in sorting) isn't necessary to the task, '''counting''' is (or is implied by ''looking''). The '''REXX''' example doesn't do a sort. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:08, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
:Sequences which derive a value from the previous value have a nice, well-established name: they are called ''recurrences''. The particular recurrences being discussed here are based on calculations that work with the base ten representation of integers. This kind of manipulation is ''typographical'': essentially it works with the printed representation, which leads us to ''typographical recurrence''. Knuth's term ''semi-numerical'' could apply here: the calculation performs counting over the base 10 typography of the previous term, and counts then turn into typography in the next term. This suggests ''semi-numerical recurrence''.[[User:Kazinator|Kazinator]] ([[User talk:Kazinator|talk]]) 16:50, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
