I'm not sure you gain much using numpy to sort python objects. In any 
case, how about:

r = [ x.residual_radiance for x in self.patches ]
ordered_indices = numpy.argsort(r)
ordered_patches = numpy.take( self.patches, indices )
ordered_other_thing = numpy.take( other_thing, indices )

etc...


HTH,
