Hi Rick,

It sounds to me like one way of looking at your data structures is as a 
NSDictionary with the first array as keys and the second as objects (values).
If so, you could then sort the keys using - (NSArray 
*)keysSortedByValueUsingComparator:(NSComparator)cmptr , or one of the other 
sorting methods, and use the returned array to access the objects in turn. If 
the array-contaner is important for your code add the "sorted" objects to an 
array.

NSArray, of course, also has a set of sorting methods, you could leverage to 
co-sort the strings in place.
