This sketch creates an array with an unordered sequence of 10 numbers. It prints the array, and then creates a reverse view on the 6 elements in the middle of the array and sorts it. The resulting array has the same elements in the 4 outermost places, but the 6 elements in the middle have been sorted in reverse order.

Output

Before sorting: 3, 5, 9, 2, 1, 8, 6, 4, 7, 0
  Sorting            ├─────────────────┤      in ascending order
After sorting:  3, 5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 7, 0
  Sorting            ├─────────────────┤      in descending order
After sorting:  3, 5, 9, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1, 7, 0
