    copied!<p>You can also use numpy for this. Assuming you have:</p> <pre><code>dates = numpy.array([datetime(2012,02,03,12,00,00), datetime(2012,02,03,15,00,00), datetime(2012,02,03,13,00,00)]) values = numpy.array([[1, 1], [3, 3], [2, 2]]) </code></pre> <p>You can do at first:</p> <pre><code>unified = numpy.concatenate((dates.reshape(len(dates), 1), values), axis=1) </code></pre> <p>This will merge your two list, which considering what you want should be a better suited way to hold your data anyway. So now you have:</p> <pre><code>unified = array([[2012-02-03 12:00:00, 1, 1], [2012-02-03 15:00:00, 3, 3], [2012-02-03 13:00:00, 2, 2]], dtype=object) </code></pre> <p>Now you can do:</p> <pre><code>unified = numpy.sort(unified, axis=0) </code></pre> <p>This will sort after date. Now if you still want just the separate lists you can get them with: </p> <pre><code>unified[:, 0] &gt;&gt;&gt; array([2012-02-03 12:00:00, 2012-02-03 13:00:00, 2012-02-03 15:00:00], dtype=object) unified[:, 1:] &gt;&gt;&gt; array([[1, 1], [2, 2], [3, 3]], dtype=object) </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> after your comment Ok now that I fully understand what you want you can achieve that by replacing</p> <pre><code> unified = numpy.sort(unified, axis=0) </code></pre> <p>with:</p> <pre><code> unified = numpy.array(sorted(unified, key= lambda x: x[0])) </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>have you tried what I just suggested? In my terminal:</p> <pre><code> unified = numpy.array([[datetime(2012,02,03,12,00,00), 4, 1],[datetime(2012,02,03,15,00,00), 5, 2],[datetime(2012,02,03,13,00,00), 2, 1]], dtype=object) &gt;&gt;&gt; unified array([[2012-02-03 12:00:00, 4, 1], [2012-02-03 15:00:00, 5, 2], [2012-02-03 13:00:00, 2, 1]], dtype=object) &gt;&gt;&gt; unified = numpy.array(sorted(unified, key=lambda x: x[0])) &gt;&gt;&gt; unified array([[2012-02-03 12:00:00, 4, 1], [2012-02-03 13:00:00, 2, 1], [2012-02-03 15:00:00, 5, 2]], dtype=object) </code></pre>
