Sort the Odd

A
# CODEWARS: https://www.codewars.com/kata/578aa45ee9fd15ff4600090d/elixir

# You will be given an array of numbers.
# You have to sort the odd numbers in ascending order
# while leaving the even numbers at their original positions.

# EXAPLES:
# [7, 1]                            =>  [1, 7]
# [5, 8, 6, 3, 4]                   =>  [3, 8, 6, 5, 4]
# [1, 2, 3, -1, -3, 5]              =>  [-3, 2, -1, 1, 3, 5]
# [9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0]    =>  [1, 8, 3, 6, 5, 4, 7, 2, 9, 0]
