sorting

Design an algorithm with min time and space

here is my solution -

assume a array of N elements with 32 bit integers
use a bit array to set the appropriate bits
the array is sorted now
assign even numbers to the first half of the array in ascending order
assign odd numbers to the second half of the array in descending order

any better solution ?
