What is the smallest number n so that there are two non-isomorphic
groups of order n, but with the orders of all of the elements being
equal? (That is, I would like two non-isomorphic finite groups G and
H, so that there is a (necessarily non-homomorphism) bijection
f: G --> H so that

  order of x = order of f(x)
  
for all x in G.)

Presumably there are such pairs of groups?
