In that same entry, it says: A given permutation could be represented by cycles in a variety of ways; the standard form is made unique by the following restrictions: the cycles are disjoint and exhaustive (i.e., the atoms of the boxed elements together form a permutation vector); each boxed cycle is rotated to begin with its largest element; and the boxed cycles are put in ascending order on their leading elements.
