List transormation

[Dale Strickland-Clark]

Before I waste too much time on this, reinventing the wheel, is there a
quick way to reorder the items in a list under the control of another list?

e.g..

x = ['kipper', 'my', 'a', 'nose', 'is']
y = [1, 3, 4, 2, 0]

y transforms the order of x to produce:

['my', 'nose', 'is', 'a', 'kipper']

Thanks
