Steps:

(1) convert from base 10 to base 2

(2) reverse the digits

(3) sort from smallest to largest

(4) reverse the digits

(5) convert from base 2 to base 10

Since the even numbers all end in zero (in base 2), putting the reversed binary representation in smallest to largest order puts all the even numbers at the beginning and all the odd numbers at the end
