First the smallest number and then second smallest number on the right of the smallest number. Then, third smallest number is on the immediate left of the first number and fourth smallest number on the immediate right of the second smallest number and so on. After all the numbers get arranged then, the first word(alphabetically) is to the left of the first arranged number and then second word is to immediate right of the last arranged number. Then, the third word is to the left of the first arranged word and fourth word to the immediate right of the second arranged word so on. What machine is doing in each step: The machine first rearranges numbers and then words. In the first step smallest number is getting arranged from the left side and the second smallest number is getting arranged from the right side. In each of the further step same procedure is followed as in the previous step and number and words arranged in the previous step are shifting one place to their left and right respectively.
