  Observing the 1st Input (world 32 73 verb 26 new desk 19) and its output(Step VII : 73 desk 32 new 26 verb 19 world) we can conclude that the machine re-writes the pattern in a from decending order of numbers and ascending order of words(alphabetical) alternatively.
  The input was
  world 32 73 verb 26 new desk 19
  
  In 1st step the largest number is taken from the series and placed at 1st. So the output of step 1 is
  Step I : 73 world 32 verb 26 new desk 19
  
  In the 2nd step the word which comes alphabetically 1st is taken and placed at 2nd position.
  Step II : 73 desk world 32 verb 26 new 19
  
  Again in the 3rd step the 2nd largset number is taken and placed at the 3rd position.
  Step III : 73 desk 32 world verb 26 new 19
  
  and so on.. until every number is arranged in decending order and words in ascending order one at a time in each step.
  
  Similarly for the next input
  Step II of an input is: 51 brown 22 36 49 cloud sky red.
  
  In step 3 - 49 is placed at 3rd positon and the remaining is written as it is.
  Step III : 51 brown 49 22 36 cloud sky red
  
  In step 4 - cloud is placed at 4th position.
  Step IV : 51 brown 49 cloud 22 36 sky red
  
  In 5th step 36 is placed in 5th position.
  Step V : 51 brown 49 cloud 36 22 sky red
  
  In 6th step red is placed in 6th position.
  Step VI : 51 brown 49 cloud 38 red 22 sky
  
  Now 22 and sky are in correct positions.So no more step is required.The output is obtained in the 6th step. So 4 more steps are required.
