"""
Reversort is a sorting algorithm described in Google Code Jam 2021 Qualification Round.

Algorithm:
1. For i from 1 to N-1:
a. Find the position j of the minimum element in the subarray from position i to N
b. Reverse the subarray from position i to j

Time Complexity: O(n²) - For each position, we find the minimum and reverse
Space Complexity: O(n) - Due to list slicing in Python
(can be O(1) with in-place reversal)

For doctests run following command:
python3 -m doctest -v reversort.py

For manual testing run:
python reversort.py

def reversort(collection: list[Any]) -> list[Any]:
"""
Sort a list using the Reversort algorithm.

Reversort works by repeatedly finding the minimum element in the unsorted
portion and reversing the subarray from the current position to where the
minimum element is located.

:param collection: A mutable ordered collection with comparable items
:return: The sorted collection in ascending order

Examples:
>>> reversort([4, 2, 1, 3])
[1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> reversort([0, 5, 3, 2, 2])
[0, 2, 2, 3, 5]
>>> reversort([])
