I have 3 lists, each with equal elements: email addresses, salaries and IDs
I'd like to sort the email addresses alphabetically and in some way sort the other 2 lists (salaries and IDs).
E.g.,
Emails:
[email protected]
[email protected]
Salaries:
50000
60000
IDs:
2
1
The puzzle: I'd like to sort Emails such that [email protected] is first and [email protected] is last and Salaries is 60000 then 50000 and IDs is 1 then 2.
Additional detail: 1. Length of lists are the same and can be longer than two elements. 2. I will subsequently pass IDs to functions to retrieve further lists. Those lists won't need sorting as they will adopt the order of the IDs list.
