(1-5): The machine rearranges words and numbers in such a way that words are arranged in alphabetical order from left side while numbers are arranged in descending order from right side in each step.
Input: 10 get 89 41 ace bed done 45 nor 73 60 made
Step I. ace 10 get 41 bed done 45 nor 73 60 made 89
Step II. bed ace 10 get 41 done 45 nor 60 made 89 73
Step III. done bed ace 10 get 41 45 nor made 89 73 60
Step IV. get done bed ace 10 41 nor made 89 73 60 45
Step V. made get done bed ace 10 nor 89 73 60 45 41
Step VI. nor made get done bed ace 89 73 60 45 41 10
