Nice, just maybe this different order would be more easy to remember  
and to use  than yours purely binar:

          16' 8' 4' 2'
08 =  X
04 =     X
02 =        X
01 =           X
12 =  X  X
10 =  X     X
09 =  X        X
06 =     X  X
05 =     X     X
03 =        X  X
14 =  X  X  X
13 =  X  X     X
11 =  X     X  X
07 =     X  X  X
15 =  X  X  X  X

I left your original numbers for comparison, but of course numbering  
should go from 01 to 15 again.
