How do you sort a bitonic sequence?

Can you please explain to me, in a concise manner, how one would sort a bitonic sequence? I understand that a bitonic sequence is one that is first increasing and then decreasing, or vice versa, but I'm not entirely clear on the most efficient approach to sorting such a sequence. Would it involve dividing the sequence into two monotonic subsequences and then applying a standard sorting algorithm to each, or is there a more specialized method specifically tailored to bitonic sequences? I'm curious to learn more about the process and the underlying principles behind it.
