Suppose there is an array of numbers 9, 6, 8, 7, 4 ...., if I want a kid to rearrange the numbers with the largest one in the begining and then the smaller one, then the even smaller one, and so on and so forth(the result is obviously 9, 8, 7, 6, 4), how can i express this idea? and what if i want the other way around (namely 4, 6, 7, 8, 9)?
as an attempt by myself, i came up with "arrange the numbers in the decreasing/increasing sequence/order".
I'd like to hear your advice.
