A word and number arrangement device when given an input line of words and numbers rearranges them following a particular pattern in each step. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement (All the numbers are three-digit numbers).
Input: hgjb rsbu 319 640 287 hoda 369 dply
Step I: 046 hgjb rsbu 319 287 hoda 369 dply
Step II: 046 adho hgjb rsbu 319 287 369 dply
Step III: 046 adho 139 hgjb rsbu 287 369 dply
Step IV: 046 adho 139 bghj rsbu 287 369 dply
Step V: 046 adho 139 bghj 278 rsbu 369 dply
Step VI: 046 adho 139 bghj 278 brsu 369 dply
Step VII: 046 adho 139 bghj 278 brsu 369 dlpy
And Step VII is the last step of the above input.
As per the pattern followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the given input.

In the given illustration:
1) In the above process, numbers in the group have been arranged in an ascending order of numbers.
2) In case of words in the group, they are arranged in ascending order as per their position in the dictionary.
3) A word and number are arranged simultaneously in each step.
Step I: The smallest number with digits arranged in ascending order is situated at the leftmost corner. All the words and numbers left are shifted accordingly.
Step II: The first word as per position in the dictionary is placed at the second position i.e. immediate right to the previously arranged number. It is followed by the next smallest number With digits in ascending order. Rest all numbers and words are shifted accordingly.
The same process is followed till all the words and numbers are rearranged as: All numbers (with their digits arranged in ascending order) arranged in ascending order and all words in an order of increasing order as per dictionary.
Now given Input: 548 ayds tnrm 281 836 pnkp 050 akuy
Step I: 005 548 ayds tnrm 281 836 pnkp akuy
Step II: 005 adsy 548 tnrm 281 836 pnkp akuy
Step III: 005 adsy 128 548 tnrm 836 pnkp akuy
Step IV: 005 adsy 128 akuy 548 tnrm 836 pnkp
Step V: 005 adsy 128 akuy 368 548 tnrm pnkp
Step VI: 005 adsy 128 akuy 368 knpp 548 tnrm
Step VII: 005 adsy 128 akuy 368 knpp 458 tnrm
Step VIII: 005 adsy 128 akuy 368 knpp 458 mnrt
Hence, the difference between 5th number from the left end (548) and 6th number from the right end (128) in the IVth step is 420.
