For optimal assignment of factors to columns of a 4m2n design, we consider extensions of the minimum aberration criterion for the 2-level designs. Minimum aberration 4l2n and 422n designs in 16 and 32 runs are obtained and tabulated. Some results on the wordlength patterns and design classification are obtained.
