Sorts one list based on another list containing the desired indexes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use `zip()` and `sorted()` to combine and sort the two lists, based on the values of `indexes`.
|
||||||
|
Use a list comprehension to get the first element of each pair from the result.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```py
|
||||||
|
def sort_by_indexes(lst, indexes):
|
||||||
|
return [val for _, val in sorted(zip(indexes, lst), key = lambda x: x[0])]
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```py
|
||||||
|
a = ['eggs', 'bread', 'oranges', 'jam', 'apples', 'milk']
|
||||||
|
b = [3, 2, 6, 4, 1, 5]
|
||||||
|
sort_by_indexes(a, b) # ['apples', 'bread', 'eggs', 'jam', 'milk', 'oranges']
|
||||||
|
```
