I want to sort float numbers in descending order with the corresponding string. For e.g.
Mass=[10,45.5,56.7,34.7,12,8.2,56,78.5,5.5,21.5]
Name=['A1','A2','A3','A4','A5','A6','A7','A8','A9','A10']
Now I want to arrange mass in descending order so that it will give me
A8=78.5, A3=56.7, A7=56.....
How can I do it in python?
Many thanks

You can zip those, putting the mass in the first place, then sort them in reversed order.
for m, n in sorted(zip(Mass, Name), reverse=True):
print n, m
Output:
A8 78.5
A3 56.7
A7 56
...
This code returns exactly what you want.
Mass=[10,45.5,56.7,34.7,12,8.2,56,78.5,5.5,21.5]
Name=['A1','A2','A3','A4','A5','A6','A7','A8','A9','A10']
for m,n in sorted(zip(Mass, Name), key=lambda pair: pair[0], reverse=True):
print "%s=%s," % (n, m),
A8=78.5, A3=56.7, A7=56, A2=45.5, A4=34.7, A10=21.5, A5=12, A1=10, A6=8.2, A9=5.5,
You can use join if you don't need the colon at end.
