If you have Python version 2.4 (or 2.4.1): lst = [2,3,1,4,5] import operator sorted(enumerate(lst), key=operator.itemgetter(1)) [(2, 1), (0, 2), (1, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5)]
But *why* do you want the indices ? Most of the time dealing with the indices is the wrong way in Python (perhaps the right way in FORTRAN :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
