Step I : $\text{14 39 121 48 18 76 112 45 63 96}$

Step II : $\text{14 39 48 18 76 112 45 63 96 121}$

Step III: $\text{14 18 39 48 76 112 45 63 96 121}$

Step IV : $\text{14 18 39 48 76 45 63 96 112 121}$

Step V : $\text{14 18 39 45 48 76 63 96 112 121}$

Step VI : $\text{14 18 39 45 48 63 76 96 112 121}$

(This is the final arrangement and Step VI is the last step for this input)
