+Sorts one list based on given indices in another list and returns the sorted list of values.
+
+Use list comprehension to get values after using `zip` and `sorted` function based on given `key` with lambda function that returns the index.
+
+```py
+def sort_list_based_on_another_list(to_sort, index_list):
+    return [val for i, val in sorted(zip(index_list, to_sort), key = lambda x: x[0])]
+```
+
+```py
+a = ['eggs', 'bread', 'oranges', 'jam', 'apples', 'milk']
+b = [3, 2, 6, 4, 1, 5]
+sort_list_based_on_another_list(a, b) # ['apples', 'bread', 'eggs', 'jam', 'milk', 'oranges']
+```
