Primes sorted by relation of largest divisors of p+-1

Speaking for myself, you may bother me with problems of this sort, so
long as you separate the numbers with commas ("," or ", ") instead of
just spaces. ;)

After some mass replaces in Notepad, I entered your lists of primes
such that the number of divisors of p-1 is greater than the
number of divisors of p+1 and the other one into Mathematica as
HugoList1 and 2. Then, I executed

Select[Prime[Range[2, 140]], Length[Divisors[# - 1]] >
Length[Divisors[# + 1]] &]

and a similar one with only a change of comparison operator (based on
Wouter's code). Then

SameQ[%, HugoList1]

and a similar one. For both Mathematica replied True.
