There are more than a few ways to sort the list, but there are two particularly easy ones, that work well for smaller lists. They are called Bubble Sort and Shaker Sort.

In bubble sort for ascending order, you would start with the first value. You will take that value and compare it to the next value in the list. If he next value is smaller, then you need to compare it to the third value in the list. If it is smaller than the third value in the list, you swap the third value with the first value. You then start over with the next first value. When no swaps are made, the list is sorted. There are a few optimizations to make with this, that I will leave you to work out yourself (and also, not all necessary information was given, this is just an overview of the algorithm).

Shaker Sort is exactly like bubble sort, except for we move large values to the right and then we do the same steps going towards the left to move small values to the front. When no swaps are made, the list is sorted. The same optimizations that work with Bubble Sort also work with Shaker Sort.

are you allowed to use builtin sort functions in the api or do you have to make your own sort?
