Similar to this, but in python.
I have two lists.
List a contains a set of numbers and List b contains a set of strings, with the 2 lists having corresponding indexes. For example:
a = [9,12,25,3,2,3,1]
b = ['jim','bob','cal','tim','pete','bill','jane']
9 corresponds to jim, bob to 12, etc.
I want to sort list a by value (greatest to least), but keep the original correspondence.
The new lists would be:
new_a = [25,12,9,3,3,2,1]
new_b = ['cal','bob','jim','tim','pete','bill','jane']
or something like {new_a_item_sorted:new_b_item_corresponding}, etc.
THIS QUESTION IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE:
- I want the original list sorted as well
