    """
    Sort input with odd even sort.

    This algorithm uses the same idea of bubblesort,
    but by first dividing in two phase (odd and even).
    Originally developed for use on parallel processors
    with local interconnections.
    :param collection: mutable ordered sequence of elements
    :return: same collection in ascending order
    Examples:
    >>> odd_even_sort([5 , 4 ,3 ,2 ,1])
    [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    >>> odd_even_sort([])
    []
    >>> odd_even_sort([-10 ,-1 ,10 ,2])
    [-10, -1, 2, 10]
    >>> odd_even_sort([1 ,2 ,3 ,4])
    [1, 2, 3, 4]
