I have built a solution to swap the lowest values with the highest values in a list.



With



SeedRandom[987]
test = RandomSample@*Join @@ Range @@@ 6, 10, 56, 60, 1, 5, -5, -1



-1, 2, 7, 8, 60, 57, 58, 10, 9, 4, -5, -3, 3, 59, 1, 5, -4, 6, -2, 56



Then



swapPositions =
PermutationReplace[
Ordering@Ordering@test,
With[len = Length@test,
Cycles@
Transpose@Range @@ 1, Floor[len/2], Reverse@*Range @@ Ceiling[len/2] + 1, len
]
];

Sort[test][[swapPositions]]



56, 9, 4, 3, -5, -2, -3, 1, 2, 7, 60, 58, 8, -4, 10, 6, 59, 5, 57, -1



The largest half of the numbers have had their positions swapped with lowest half of the numbers.



However, it feels too verbose and I think Sort might be expensive in this case. Is there a built-in function or more terse method to achieve this. Of course with no loss in speed. The actual case is for list of length 100000 and more.
