hello, I typically run into this problem and I'm not always sure of the most
efficient way to handle it. I often work with multiple arrays of data, say
arrays a, b, and c, and I want to sort the elements of b and c based on a. for
example:
a = [3,2,1,4]
b = ['hi', 'my','name', 'is']
c = [5,2,4,2]
I order 'a' from small to large and do the same rearrangement to 'b' and 'c':
a = [1,2,3,4]
b = ['name', 'my','hi', 'is']
c = [4,2,5,2]
usually I do some terrible looking for loops and iterate over the whole
mess.... is there a clean, efficient way to do this, or is there a nice
function that would reorder the elements of b and c based on the soring of a?
thanks
