contents Kronecker sequences $(k α\mod 1)_{k=1}^{\infty}$ for some irrational $α> 0$ have played an important role in many areas of mathematics. It is possible to associate to each finite segment $(k α\mod 1)_{k=1}^{n}$ a permutation $π\in S_n$ associated with the canonical lifting to two dimensions. We show that these permutations induced by Kronecker sequences based on irrational $α$ are extremely regular for specific choices of $n$ and $α$. In particular, all quadratic irrationals have an infinite number of choices of $n$ that lead to permutations where no cycle has length more than 4.
