🔒 Sort two arrays at once with zip.

[lone lotus]

At the moment, I am getting a TypeError. I wanted to sort two arrays at once.

Here's the code:

string_to_sort=[c for c in "`-=[]\\;',./"]
sort_criteria=[192,189,187,219,221,220,186,222,188,190,191]
new_string=[]
new_num_sort=[]

for i in sorted(zip(sort_criteria,string_to_sort)):
    new_string.append(i[0])
    new_num_sort.append(i[1])
    
print("".join(new_string))
print(",".join(new_num_sort))

it's giving type error because new_string is full of ints, not strings

convert them to strings and it should work
