Getting sorting order

Hi all,

I cannot find anything on this:
I have a few lists, and would like to sort one of them (sorting-master
list).
Then I would like to sort all other lists according to how the first
one was sorted (sorting-slave lists).

Is there a standard way to do that?
From what I know sort() and sorted() do not return the order of
sorting.
Maybe I have to write some more code.

Ciao, leodp
