I have two lists in my program, for example:

[user1, user2, user3, user4, user5, user6, user7]

[32, 54, 2, 684, 23, 876, 12]

The first list is the username, and the second list is how many messages the user sent.

Is there a way to sort the second list in descending order whilst also rearranging the first list to correspond to the new order of the second list?

    First of all, does this answer your question? [Sorting list based on values from another list?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6618515/sorting-list-based-on-values-from-another-list). Second, you might consider switching to a `dict` instead of 2 lists – Tomerikoo May 10 '20 at 18:31
  • `lst1, lst2 = zip(*sorted(zip(lst1, lst2), key=lambda k: -k[1]))` where `lst1` is your first list, `lst2` second – Andrej Kesely May 10 '20 at 18:33
  • `zip` function allows parallel iteration – Ahmed I. Elsayed May 10 '20 at 18:34
