The number of inversions of a permutation. This equals the minimal number of simple transpositions $(i,i+1)$ needed to write $\pi$. Thus, it is also the Coxeter length of $\pi$.

The disorder of a permutation. Consider a permutation $\pi = [\pi_1,\ldots,\pi_n]$ and cyclically scanning $\pi$ from left to right and remove the elements $1$ through $n$ on this order one after the other. The '''disorder''' of $\pi$ is defined to be the number of times a position was not removed in this process. For example, the disorder of $[3,5,2,1,4]$ is $8$ since on the first scan, 3,5,2 and 4 are not removed, on the second, 3,5 and 4, and on the third and last scan, 5 is once again not removed.

The number of cyclically simple transpositions decreasing the number of cyclic descents needed to sort a permutation. This is for a permutation $\sigma$ of length $n$ and the set $T = \{ (1,2), \dots, (n-1,n), (1,n) \}$ given by $$\min\{ k \mid \sigma = t_1\dots t_k \text{ for } t_i \in T \text{ such that } t_1\dots t_j \text{ has more cyclic descents than } t_1\dots t_{j-1} \text{ for all } j\}.$$

The major index of a permutation. This is the sum of the positions of its descents, $$\operatorname{maj}(\sigma) = \sum_{\sigma(i) > \sigma(i+1)} i.$$ Its generating function is $[n]_q! = [1]_q \cdot [2]_q \dots [n]_q$ for $[k]_q = 1 + q + q^2 + \dots q^{k-1}$. A statistic equidistributed with the major index is called '''Mahonian statistic'''.

The number of edges of a graph.

The cocharge of a standard tableau. The '''cocharge''' of a standard tableau $T$, denoted $\mathrm{cc}(T)$, is defined to be the cocharge of the reading word of the tableau. The cocharge of a permutation $w_1 w_2\cdots w_n$ can be computed by the following algorithm: 1) Starting from $w_n$, scan the entries right-to-left until finding the entry $1$ with a superscript $0$. 2) Continue scanning until the $2$ is found, and label this with a superscript $1$. Then scan until the $3$ is found, labeling with a $2$, and so on, incrementing the label each time, until the beginning of the word is reached. Then go back to the end and scan again from right to left, and *do not* increment the superscript label for the first number found in the next scan. Then continue scanning and labeling, each time incrementing the superscript only if we have not cycled around the word since the last labeling. 3) The cocharge is defined as the sum of the superscript labels on the letters.

The sorting index of a permutation. The sorting index counts the total distance that symbols move during a selection sort of a permutation. This sorting algorithm swaps symbol n into index n and then recursively sorts the first n-1 symbols. Compare this to [[St000018]], the number of inversions of a permutation, which is also the total distance that elements move during a bubble sort.

The number of non-inversions of a permutation. For a permutation of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, this is given by $\operatorname{noninv}(\pi) = \binom{n}{2}-\operatorname{inv}(\pi)$.

The load of a permutation. The definition of the load of a finite word in a totally ordered alphabet can be found in [1], for permutations, it is given by the major index [[St000004]] of the reverse [[Mp00064]] of the inverse [[Mp00066]] permutation.

The aid statistic in the sense of Shareshian-Wachs. This is the number of admissible inversions [[St000866]] plus the number of descents [[St000021]]. This statistic was introduced by John Shareshian and Michelle L. Wachs in [1]. Theorem 4.1 states that the aid statistic together with the descent statistic is Euler-Mahonian.
