T(n,k) is the number of distinct n X n {0,1}-matrices that reach a fixed point after k alternately applied sorts by rows and columns, where T(n,k), k>=0 is an irregular triangle read by rows.

COMMENTS
It is conjectured that for n>=3 the last term > 0 in row n is T(n,2*n-3). This is consistent with the result of random draws, where T(7,11) is the last term in row 7.
Approximate values ​​of the terms in the next row 7 from random drawings are as follows: 8.4E8, 3.79E12, 2.38E14, 2.54E14, 5.61E13, 1.02E13, 8.22E11, 9.0E10, 4.2E9, 3E8, 9E6, 1E6.

Hugo Pfoertner, PARI program, computes row n.
Markus Sigg, C program, computes row n for A374525 or A374526.
FORMULA
For each n: Sum_{k>=0} T(n,k) = 2^(n^2).
T(n,0) = A089006(n).

by sorting by rows nor by sorting by columns:

T(2,1) = 7; matrices that become stable after one sort:
sorting by stable

[0, 1; 0, 0] rows -> [0, 0; 0, 1]
[1, 0; 0, 1] rows or -> [0, 1; 1, 0]
columns
[1, 0; 1, 0] columns -> [0, 1; 0, 1]
[1, 0; 1, 1] columns -> [0, 1; 1, 1]
[1, 1; 0, 0] rows -> [0, 0; 1, 1]
[1, 1; 0, 1] rows -> [0, 1; 1, 1]
.
T(2,2) = 2; matrices needing two sorts to become stable:
sorting by stable
[1, 0] [0, 1] [0, 0]
[0, 0] [0, 0] [0, 1]
columns -> rows ->
[1, 1] [1, 1] [0, 1]
[1, 0] [0, 1] [1, 1]
