sort two lists together python code example

Example 1: sort two lists by one python

list1 = [3,2,4,1,1]
list2 = ['three', 'two', 'four', 'one', 'one2']
list1, list2 = zip(*sorted(zip(list1, list2)))

Example 2: sort two lists that refence each other

>>> list1 = [3,2,4,1, 1]
>>> list2 = ['three', 'two', 'four', 'one', 'one2']
>>> list1, list2 = zip(*sorted(zip(list1, list2)))
>>> list1
(1, 1, 2, 3, 4)
>>> list2 
('one', 'one2', 'two', 'three', 'four')

Example 3: merge two sorted lists python

from heapq import merge 
  
# initializing lists 
test_list1 = [1, 5, 6, 9, 11] 
test_list2 = [3, 4, 7, 8, 10] 
  
# printing original lists  
print ("The original list 1 is : " + str(test_list1)) 
print ("The original list 2 is : " + str(test_list2)) 
  
# using heapq.merge() 
# to combine two sorted lists 
res = list(merge(test_list1, test_list2)) 
  
# printing result 
print ("The combined sorted list is : " + str(res))
