My solution, I know the 'zip' version is more elegant, this is just for fun:) >>> items = ['apple', 'car', 'town', 'phone'] >>> values = [5, 2, 7, 1] >>> new_values = sorted(values, reverse = True) >>> new_items = [items[x] for x in [i for i in map(values.index, new_values)]] >>> print(new_values) [7, 5, 2, 1] >>> print(new_items) ['town', 'apple', 'car', 'phone'] >>> cheers! tiefeng wu 2009-04-22
