reorder

Language/Type: Python list collections

Write a function named reorder that accepts as a parameter a list of integers that are already sorted by absolute value, and modifies it so that the integers are sorted normally. For example, if a list variable named nums stores the following elements: 

[1, -2, 4, 5, -7, -9, -12, 28, -34]

Then the call of reorder(nums) should modify it to store the following values: 

[-34, -12, -9, -7, -2, 1, 4, 5, 28]

Constraints: You may use a single list as auxiliary storage.

Function: Write a Python function as described, not a complete program.
