Hans,
anti-diagonal (up) see https://oeis.org/A073189/a073189.txt:
{1}, {2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9, 10}, ..
as index-pairs: {row,col} :
{1, 1},
{2, 1}, {1, 2},
{3, 1}, {2, 2}, {1, 3},
...
as in
a c f
| / /
b e
/
d
see? they cover the whole square array.
Your two examples are limited to the upper or lower triangular half of it,
and it ain't symmetric.
Wouter.

I have to betray my ignorance of not knowing what 'anti-diagonal
order' meant exactly. In trying to figure it out (for positive
integers), I conjectured that it is either {{1,1}, {1,2}, {2,2},
{1,3}, {2,3}, {3,3}, {1,4}, ...} or {{1,1}, {2,1}, {2,2}, {3,1},
{3,2}, {3,3}, {4,1}, ...}. But Wouter's A214892-A214896 appears to
employ two from the former ({10,18}, {23,162}} and three from the
latter ({4,1}, {18,5}, {382,127}). So I'm still confused.
