Problem Description

Trico is trying to impress a girl. But the girl is not showing any sign of interest to him. So his best friend suggested him to gift one Grovyle string to her. Grovlye string is a odd length string consisting of only lowercase alphabets arranged in such a way that a number X associated with it is smallest as possible.
X is calculated as : First take absolute distance of each character’s position from the center of the string i.e., (string length/2) and then multiply the distance with its ASCII value. Similarly find all the values and add them.
Example : Given string : aaa
Here only one unique permutation is possible : aaa
distances are : for first a, d1 = 1, second a, d2 =0, third a, d3 = 1;
so X = 1 X 97 + 0 X 97 + 1 X 97 = 194;
So given a string of odd length consisting of only lowercase alphabets, find one permutation of the given string such that X is smallest as possible. And if there are many such strings then print the lexicographically smallest one.
Input: First line contains T, the number of test cases that follow. Next T lines, each contains one odd length string consisting of only lowercase alphabets.
Output: For each test case, print the desired result in separate lines.
Constraints:
1 <= T <= 1000
0 <= String Length <= 1001
  • Test Case 1
    Input (stdin)
    2
    aaa
    abc
    Expected Output
    aaa
    acb
  • Test Case 2
    Input (stdin)
    3
    aaa
    abc
    ccb
    Expected Output
    aaa
    acb
    bcc
