Sort an input by order of importance
I am not a coder but understand python basics. I want my user to input a random list such as:
Reuters
The New York Times
The Wall Street Journal
Associated Press
Financial Times
and for my code to sort it based on the index postion:
outlet = [ 'The Wall Street Journal', 'The New York Times', 'Associated Press', 'Reuters', 'Financial Times', 'USA Today','Bloomberg','CNBC']
so it prints ordered and on a new line:
The Wall Street Journal
The New York Times
Associated Press
Reuters
Financial Times
Thank you!
The code I have so far is as follows:
ranking = [ 'The Wall Street Journal', 'The New York Times', 'Associated Press', 'Reuters', 'Financial Times', 'USA Today','Bloomberg','CNBC']
print('Enter new coverage:')
coverage = input()
listed = coverage.split()
print(*listed, sep="n")

Ok, so if you have the list a = [Reuters, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, Financial Times] and you want to to sort it with respect to list ranking = [ 'The Wall Street Journal', 'The New York Times', 'Associated Press', 'Reuters', 'Financial Times', 'USA Today','Bloomberg','CNBC'] you can do it by iterating through the ranking list and see if the list a has the first element of the ranking list, if it has the second and so on. The code would be something like this:
a = [Reuters, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, Financial Times]
ranking = [ 'The Wall Street Journal', 'The New York Times', 'Associated Press', 'Reuters', 'Financial Times', 'USA Today','Bloomberg','CNBC']
for element in ranking:
for i in a:
if i == element:
print(i)
Result:
The Wall Street Journal
The New York Times
Associated Press
Reuters
Financial Times
