Reorder a List by Odd Even Indices in Python

Splits a list into two sublists based on 1-based index parity, then concatenates odd-indexed elements before even-indexed ones.

list indices reorder

def reorder_by_odd_even(items):
    """Reorders a list so that elements at odd indices come first,
    followed by elements at even indices (1-based).

    """
    odds = [items[i] for i in range(1, len(items), 2)]

Segregate Negative Numbers Before Positives in Python

Reorders a list so all negative numbers appear before non-negative numbers while preserving the original relative order of elements.

lists partition stability
Python
def segregate_negatives(numbers):
    """Segregate negatives before positives without altering relative order."""
    negatives = [n for n in numbers if n < 0]
    positives = [n for n in numbers if n >= 0]
    return negatives + positives
