In the first step, the word that comes first in the alphabetical order shifts to the left most position . While the remaining line shifts rightward. 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.

We can't proceed backward.

In the first step, the word that comes first in the alphabetical order shifts to the left most position. While the remaining line shifts rightward. 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: war 52 and peace 43 16 now 24
Step I: and war 52 peace 43 16 now 24
Step II: and 52 war peace 43 16 now 24
Step III: and 52 now war peace 43 16 24
Step IV: and 52 now 43 war peace 16 24
Step V: and 52 now 43 peace war 16 24
Step VI: and 52 now 43 peace 24 war 16

In the first step, the largest number goes on the leftmost position pushing the rest line rightward. In the next step the word that comes last in the alphabetical order occupies the second position from the left pushing the rest line rightward. Thus the number and words get arranged alternately till the numbers are place in the descending order and the words in the alphabetical order.

Input: organize 19 12 stable room 35 72 house
Step I: 72 organize 19 12 stable room 35 house
Step II: 72 house organize 19 12 stable room 35
Step III: 72 house 35 organize 19 12 stable room
Step IV: 72 house 35 organize 19 room 12 stable

In the first step, the largest number goes on the leftmost position pushing the rest line rightward. In the next step the word that comes last in the alphabetical order occupies the second position from the left pushing the rest line rightward. Thus the number and words get arranged alternately till the numbers are place in the descending order and the words in the alphabetical order.
Input: bake never store 51 26 33 age 49
Step I: 51 bake never store 26 33 age 49
Step II: 51 age bake never store 26 33 49
Step III: 51 age 49 bake never store 33 26
Step IV: 51 age 49 bake 33 never store 26
Step V: 51 age 49 bake 33 never 26 store

In the first step, the largest number goes on the leftmost position pushing the rest line rightward. In the next step the word that comes last in the alphabetical order occupies the second position from the left pushing the rest line rightward. Thus the number and words get arranged alternately till the numbers are place in the descending order and the words in the alphabetical order.

Input : always go there 39   62   47 time 24
Step I  : 62 always go there 39   47 time 24
Step II  : 62 always 47 go there 39 time 24
Step III  : 62 always 47 go 39 there time 24
Step IV  : 62 always 47 go 39 there 24 time
Hence steps III will be the last but one.

In the first step, the largest number goes on the leftmost position pushing the rest line rightward. In the next step the word that comes last in the alphabetical order occupies the second position from the left pushing the rest line rightward. Thus the number and words get arranged alternately till the numbers are place in the descending order and the words in the alphabetical order.

We can't proceed backward.

In the first step, the largest number goes on the leftmost position pushing the rest line rightward. In the next step the word that comes last in the alphabetical order occupies the second position from the left pushing the rest line rightward. Thus the number and words get arranged alternately till the numbers are place in the descending order and the words in the alphabetical order.

Step III: 84 for 56 29 17 won loss game
Step IV: 84 for 56 game 29 17 won loss
Step V: 84 for 56 game 29 loss 17 won.

In the first step, the largest number goes on the leftmost position pushing the rest line rightward. In the next step the word that comes last in the alphabetical order occupies the second position from the left pushing the rest line rightward. Thus the number and words get arranged alternately till the numbers are place in the descending order and the words in the alphabetical order.

Step III: 86 box 63 18 gear card 51 new
Step IV: 86 box 63 card 18 gear 51 new
Step V: 86 box 63 card 51 18 gear new. Step VI: 86 box 63 card 51 gear 18 new. Hence 6 ? 3 = 3 more steps will be required.

In the first step, the largest number goes on the leftmost position pushing the rest line rightward. In the next step the word that comes last in the alphabetical order occupies the second position from the left pushing the rest line rightward. Thus the number and words get arranged alternately till the numbers are place in the descending order and the words in the alphabetical order.

Step IV: 59 bend 46 card 14 27 win now
Step V: 59 bend 46 card 27 14 win now
Step VI: 59 bend 46 card 27 now 14 win
Since the line is already arranged, there will be no step VII

In the given word and number arrangement machine. numbers are arranged alternately with words. Among numbers, first the largest number is taken to the leftmost side, then the smallest and so on. Among word, the first word as per the alphabetical order is taken to the leftmost side, then the word coming last as per the alphabetical order and so on.
Step II : 76 from 48 super itself 56 18 went
Step III : 76 from 18 48 super itself 56 went
Step IV : 76 from 18 went 48 super itself 56
Step V : 76 from 18 went 56 48 super itself
Step VI : 76 from 18 went 56 itself 48 super
Step VI is the last step so four more steps are required to the complete arrangement.
