For $2n$ numbers in a row, Bob could perform the following operation: $$S_i=(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_{2n})\mapsto S_{i+1}=(a_1,a_3,\ldots,a_{2n-1},a_2,a_4,\ldots,a_{2n}).$$ Let $T$ be the order of this operation. In other words, $T$ is the smallest positive integer such that $S_i=S_{i+T}$. Prove that $T<2n$.
