How can I reorder a list? [closed]

Answer 1

One more thing which can be considered is the other interpretation as pointed out by darkless

Code in Python 2.7

Mainly:

1. Reorder by value - Already solved by AJ above

2. Reorder by index

   mylist = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
   myorder = [3, 2, 0, 1, 4]
   
   mylist = sorted(zip(mylist, myorder), key=lambda x: x[1])
   print [item[0] for item in mylist]
   

This will print ['c', 'd', 'b', 'a', 'e']
