sorting two corresponding lists?

[Esmail]

Hello all,

I wonder if someone could help me with sorting two corresponding lists.

For instance the first list contains some items, and the second list
contains their value (higher is better)

items = [apple, car, town, phone]
values = [5, 2, 7, 1]

I would like to sort the 'items' list based on the 'values' list so
that I end up with the following two list:

items = [town, apple, car, phone]
values = [7, 5, 2, 1]

So I would like to keep the corresponding value still corresponding
after the sorting.

Is there an easy/nice/Pythonic way to do this?

Thanks,
Esmail
