A word-and-number arrangement machine rearranges any input line in steps. In each step the largest number that has not already been shifted in an earlier step is taken out and placed at the extreme left end of the line. All the remaining elements keep their relative order, and the machine stops when no further shift is possible.
Input: river 46 mango 83 kite 25 dawn 71.
