Following Ron Adam solution (and using [] instead of list() in the last
line), this may be a possible solution of the problem, that is often
quite fast:
def psort16(s1, s2):
try:
d = dict(izip(s2, s1))
except TypeError:
_indices = range(len(s1))
_indices.sort(key=s2.__getitem__)
s1[:] = map(s1.__getitem__, _indices)
else:
if len(d) == len(s1):
s1[:] = [d[v] for v in sorted(d)]
else:
_indices = range(len(s1))
_indices.sort(key=s2.__getitem__)
s1[:] = map(s1.__getitem__, _indices)
