/**
 * Returns a re-ordered array consisting of, in order:
 *    1. First few objects
 *    2. Center objects
 *    3. Last few objects
 *    4. nth Objects (n=7), set 2
 *    5. nth Objects set 5,
 *    6. Remaining objects
 * What this does is return the first/center/start objects, as those
 * are often used first, then a selection of objects scattered over the
 * instances in order to allow making requests over a set of image instances.
 *
 * @param {[]} imageIds
 * @returns [] reordered to be an nth selection
