Hi Peter, a small example: master=[1,4,3,2] slave1=['d','c','b','a'] slave2=[1,2,3,4] master.sort() # this is ok, but does not return infos on how the list was sorted slave1.sort(key=_maybe_something_here_referring_to_master_) slave2.sort(key=_maybe_something_here_referring_to_master_) Then I should get: master=[1,2,3,4] slave1=['d','a','b','c'] slave2=[1,4,3,2] Hope it is more clear now.
