Solution (1-5):
Students let us understand the Logic behind this Question and let’s understand how to solve it. When we see the each step, then we can find that there is both number and words are arranged in each step.
1) In this arrangement input series is divided into two equal parts.. “fly 15 butter 28 in 45”  and  “the 64 sky 32 blue 57”
 Now from first part all words are arranged alphabetically in every step upto arrangement of all words, and it is shifted to one position right in next step.
2)  In second part , all numbers are arranged in increasing order and arranged number are shifted to one position left in next step.
3) After completion of arrangement of all words and numbers in both equal parts, now its turn of arrangement of that part which is not arranged yet.
4) Now from Step IV- One highest word according to English dictionary and one highest number both of arranged part will arranged to left end and it will shift one position to right in next step.
One highest word according to English dictionary and one highest number both of unarranged part will be arranged to right end and it will shift one position to left in next step.
5)And the above process will continue till the last step.

Input:    fly 15 butter 28 in 45 the 64 sky 32 blue 57
   Step I: butter fly 15 28 in 45 the 64 sky blue 57 32

Step III:  in fly butter 15 28 45 the sky blue 32 57 64
Step IV:  in 64 fly butter 15 28 sky blue 32 57 the 45
 Step V:  fly 57 in 64 butter 15 blue 32 the 45 sky 28
