  There are 5 groups of order 12.
    1 is of type 6.2.
    2 is of type c12.
    3 is of type A4.
    4 is of type D12.
    5 is of type 2^2x3.

  The groups whose order factorises in at most 3 primes 
  have been classified by O. Hoelder. This classification is 
  used in the SmallGroups library. 

  This size belongs to layer 1 of the SmallGroups library. 
  IdSmallGroup is available for this size.
