Any ideas? I can sort an array. But not in this pattern? It needs to sort by the pattern I mentioned above.

public void wackySort2(int[] nums) {

    int sign = 0;
    int temp = 0;
    int temp2 = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < nums.length - 1; j++) {
            if (nums[j] > nums[j + 1]) {
                temp = nums[j];
                nums[j] = nums[j + 1];
                nums[j + 1] = temp;
                //sign = 1;
                System.out.println("Something has been done");
            }
        }
    }
}
