The GAP convention is to multiply permutations from the left to the right, i.e. $(1,2) \cdot (1,3) = (1,2,3)$, to write down each cycle with the smallest moved point first and to sort cycles in ascending order w.r.t. their smallest moved points. I think meanwhile this convention is a somewhat widely used standard.
