Hello all, thanks for all the great suggestions. I used Diez's post as an opportunity to learn about zip and this this is the code I ended up drafting: li=zip(*sorted(zip(values, items), reverse=True)) new_items=list(li[1]) new_vals=list(li[0]) seems to work :-) Esmail -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
