I want to sort two sequences with different data types but both with an
equal number of elements eg.
f = [0.21, 0.68, 0.44, ..., 0.23]
i = [6, 18, 3, ..., 45]
The obvious solution is to use zip ie. pairs = zip(f,i) followed by
pairs.sort(). This is fine but my sequences contain 10,000+ elements and
the sort is performed thousands of times. Is there a faster solution?
Sort only once?
If you describe your situation better you may get more helpful
responses, but if you really want to sort 1000's of times I doubt
there's anything mush faster that pairs.sort()...
