Sort a list by elements of another list
$begingroup$
I know there are a plenty of other questions here which appear to be similar, however I did not found anything which could give me a hint.
I have two lists:
list1 = {{A, 12}, {B, 10}, {C, 4}}; (*ordered according to the second column*)
list2 = {{B, 5}, {A, 4}, {C, 1}}; (*ordered according to the second column*)
Now I want to sort list2
according to the list1
-order so the output should be:
(* {{A, 4}, {B, 5}, {C, 1}} *)
list-manipulation sorting

Is there a better example to show what you want? Doesn'tSort[list2]
give the desired output?

ugly but fast:

even faster:

result
{{A, 4}, {B, 5}, {C, 1}}

Thanks for the benchmark. I started down theOrdering
road, but went for parsimony of expression. Mild bummer that it is at least twice as slow as the best method.
