= Reverse lexicographic order on partitions
{title2=$\lambda<_R\mu\iff\lambda_i>\mu_i\text{ at the first difference}$}
Pad partitions with trailing zeros. In the descending-dictionary convention used for symmetric-function reverse lexicographic ordering, the partition with the larger first differing part precedes the other. This is the reverse of increasing <dictionary order on integer partitions>, and is a total order. It is distinct from comparing the last differing part in a <monomial> reverse-lexicographic order.
