%N Sort the primes (except 2) according to the multiplicative order of 2 modulo that prime. If two primes have the same order of 2, they are arranged numerically.

%C Or, primitive prime divisors of the Mersenne numbers 2^n-1 (see A000225) in their order of occurrence.

%C Of course the Mersenne primes 2^p-1 (cf. A000043) appear in this sequence.

%C If all odd positive numbers, not just the odd primes, are sorted in this way, the result is A059912. - _Jeppe Stig Nielsen_, Feb 13 2020

%e The order of 2 modulo 3 is 2 and the order of 2 modulo 7 is 3. So 3 comes before 7.
