title: Zipping a list of strings in java
body: <p>What would be the easiest / quickest way to zip a list of strings which is similar to this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>john,barry,stewart,josh,30,45,23,56
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want the order to be</p>
  
  <pre><code>john,30,barry,45,stewart,23,josh,56
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know that sounds like homework but the actual list is used in some selenium code and stores urls and the option of a radio button on the page but I thought the above example is simpler to read.</p>
