Abstract
A grid (or a mesh) is a two-dimensional permutation: an m x n-grid of size mn is an m x n-matrix where the entries run through the elements {1,2, ..., mn}. We prove that if delta(1) and delta(2) are any two linear orders on {1,2,..., N}, then they can be simultaneously embedded (in a well defined sense) into a unique grid having the smallest size.
