Hey Andrew,

>
>             1 4 6

> This is correct. The documentation is describing the tableau T, which then 
it takes the reading word (which is [3, 2, 5, 1, 4, 6]), and then runs RSK 
on that permutation and pulls the reading tableau. While the documentation 
is not the best, it is accurate (I had to read it a few times myself).

Best,
Travis
