There is no need to apologize for the perceived value of your question. Can you please expand on your goal? I am confused between the part where you want to "check the order of one list to another" vs "unable to use `list01 = list02`" vs "neither would I want to/ can use `sorted`". Are you trying to check if list02 is the same order as list01 in terms of True or False? If you hadn't said list01 and list02 are the same length, then I would have thought you were trying to iterate list02 sorted by the order of items in list01. But that doesn't make sense if they both contain the same items. Testing "==" between the two lists would tell you if they are sorted the same way or not. Testing sorted(list02) == list01 would tell you if they contain the same items. Maybe you can illustrate your expected behaviour with a little more detail? > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to python_inside_maya+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/e248c2b5-26f0-4268-8bf8-73be9a446e99%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/e248c2b5-26f0-4268-8bf8-73be9a446e99%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
