In the next step, the largest number shifts to the second position from left, pushing the remaining line shifts rightward. This goes on alternately till the words get arranged in an alphabetical order and the number in a descending order at alternately position.
Input: mind new 27 35 19 59 own tower
Step I: mind 59 new 27 35 19 own tower
Step II: mind 59 new 35 27 19 own tower
Step III: mind 59 new 35 own 27 19 tower
