Since the data are obviously related (since you need to keep them linked), I'd be inclined to merge the lists into a list of tuples

Then you can sort 'merged' and it should just work.... The default sort will order the tuples by the first member...

What's the advantage of this compared to the "zip" method (which yields the same result AFAICT)?
