⏱ 23 min ★ Easy

Target

Magazines are stacked and mixed by title and date, with some issues placed spine-in or upside down, making selection and reading awkward.

Obstacle

Different magazine sizes and mixed titles slow sorting, and several issues are inserted spine-in or upside down so page orientation must be checked individually.

Expectation

All magazines are grouped by title and ordered chronologically with covers facing out and no issues stored upside down.

Steps
