(1-5):
The rearrangement takes place in such a way that squares of numbers are arranged from left
side with the largest odd and then the smallest odd numbers. After that same for even numbers.
Words are arranged from right side-first the ones starting with vowels and then those with consonants
as they appear in alphabetical series.

Here numerals are fewer than words. First, words combining with numbers get arranged in
ascending order of numbers, and then rest of the words are rearranged in reverse alphabetical order
in subsequent steps.
