Sorting list based on values from another list?

Question

I have a list of strings like this:

X = [\"a\", \"b\", \"c\", \"d\", \"e\", \"f\", \"g\", \"h\", \"i\"]
Y = [ 0,   1,   1,   0,   1,   2,   2,   0,   1 ]
         


        

Answer 1

Another alternative, combining several of the answers.

zip(*sorted(zip(Y,X)))[1]

In order to work for python3:

list(zip(*sorted(zip(B,A))))[1]
