[mainlist[i - 1] for i in orderinglist] is a list made with the
elements of orderinglist, but instead of taking the actual value i
from the list, the value that is taken is mainlist[i - 1

Actually, these are statements, not questions. But anyways:

Thank you all for your replies. The only thing is I do not understand
how the code is working. The following are more particular questions.
Travis: Iam sorry, but I do not know what list comprehension is.
Roberto: I do not understand the first half of the last line of your
code. Also thank you for

I am trying to reorder elements of a list and I am stuck as to what
might be the best way to approach this. I have a (main) list of

elements of the main list
