Et al,

	If you are going to rearrange the divisors, which is contrary to the 
definition but is worth studying,
then I get the following sequence:
 {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 8, 1, 4, 4, 1, 1, 8, 1, 8, 4, 4, 1, 14, 
1, 4, 1, 8, 1, 72, 1, 1, 4, 4, 4, 20, 1, 4, 4, 14, 1, 72, 1, 8, 8, 4, 1, 22, 
1, 8, 4, 8, 1, 14, 4, 14, 4, 4, 1}

	Since we are using 12 as an example, I get the following as permutations 
which satisfy the criterion:
                {1,2,4,12,6,3}
	{1,3,6,2,4,12}
	{1,3,6,12,4,2}
	{2,1,3,6,12,4}
	{2,4,12,6,3,1}
	{3,1,2,4,12,6}
                {3,1,2,6,12,4}
                {3,6,12,4,2,1}

	Several of the above sets are just rotation of others.

Sincerely yours, Bob.
