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 list2according to the list1-order so the output should be:



(* A, 4, B, 5, C, 1 *)

ugly but fast:



list2[[Ordering[list2[[All, 1]]][[Ordering[Ordering[list1[[All, 1]]]]]]]]



A, 4, B, 5, C, 1




even faster:



result = list2;
result[[Ordering[list1[[All, 1]]]]] = SortBy[list2, First];
result



A, 4, B, 5, C, 1




benchmarks



s = 10^7;
list1 = Transpose[PermutationList@RandomPermutation[s],
RandomInteger[0, 10, s]];
list2 = Transpose[PermutationList@RandomPermutation[s],
RandomInteger[0, 10, s]];

(* my first solution *)
result1 = list2[[Ordering[list2[[All, 1]]][[Ordering[Ordering[list1[[All, 1]]]]]]]]; //AbsoluteTiming//First
(* 8.6416 *)

(* my second solution *)
result2 = Module[L,
L = list2;
L[[Ordering[list1[[All, 1]]]]] = SortBy[list2, First];
L]; //AbsoluteTiming//First
(* 6.89593 *)

(* MikeY's solution *)
result3 = Permute[list2, FindPermutation[list2[[All, 1]], list1[[All, 1]]]]; //AbsoluteTiming//First
(* 15.808 *)

(* Henrik Schumacher's solution *)
result4 = Module[idx, L,
idx = Lookup[AssociationThread[list1[[All, 1]] -> Range[Length[list1]]], list2[[All, 1]]];
L = list2;
L[[idx]] = list2;
L]; //AbsoluteTiming//First
(* 31.7412 *)

(* make sure all methods agree *)
result1 == result2 == result3 == result4
(* True *)

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