Another idea. I just got this output ...

{{1, 2, 3, 4}, {1, 2, 4, 3}, {1, 3, 2, 4}, {1, 3, 4, 2}, {1, 4, 2, 3},
 {1, 4, 3, 2}, {2, 1, 3, 4}, {2, 1, 4, 3}, {2, 3, 1, 4}, {2, 3, 4, 1},
 {2, 4, 1, 3}, {2, 4, 3, 1}, {3, 1, 2, 4}, {3, 1, 4, 2}, {3, 2, 1, 4},
 {3, 2, 4, 1}, {3, 4, 1, 2}, {3, 4, 2, 1}, {4, 1, 2, 3}, {4, 1, 3, 2},
 {4, 2, 1, 3}, {4, 2, 3, 1}, {4, 3, 1, 2}, {4, 3, 2, 1}}

... which is not so clear for me after all. Without a space after each
comma, it would be:

{{1,2,3,4},{1,2,4,3},{1,3,2,4},{1,3,4,2},{1,4,2,3},
 {1,4,3,2},{2,1,3,4},{2,1,4,3},{2,3,1,4},{2,3,4,1},
 {2,4,1,3},{2,4,3,1},{3,1,2,4},{3,1,4,2},{3,2,1,4},
 {3,2,4,1},{3,4,1,2},{3,4,2,1},{4,1,2,3},{4,1,3,2},
 {4,2,1,3},{4,2,3,1},{4,3,1,2},{4,3,2,1}}

Also not too clear, IMHO.
How about putting a space after each comma, except in the innermost level
of a sequence?   That would give:

{{1,2,3,4}, {1,2,4,3}, {1,3,2,4}, {1,3,4,2}, {1,4,2,3},
 {1,4,3,2}, {2,1,3,4}, {2,1,4,3}, {2,3,1,4}, {2,3,4,1},
 {2,4,1,3}, {2,4,3,1}, {3,1,2,4}, {3,1,4,2}, {3,2,1,4},
 {3,2,4,1}, {3,4,1,2}, {3,4,2,1}, {4,1,2,3}, {4,1,3,2},
 {4,2,1,3}, {4,2,3,1}, {4,3,1,2}, {4,3,2,1}}
