I am trying to wrap my head around best practices when dealing with constant streams of data, and what are the best ways to manipulate them.

Let's say I have an outlet of an object spitting out lists that look something like this:

And some examples of what I'm looking to learn how to do:

 If A1 ... Z1 are floats ranging from 0. to 1. (in no particular order) and A2 ... Z2 are ints ranging from 1 to 100 (in no particular order), what is the best way to get a list of values A2 ... Z2 sorted by the values of A1 ... Z1?

 The example above, but for the value of A1*A2 ... Z1*Z2 sorted by the value of A1 ... Z1

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Here is a solution of example 1 using [coll] to store and sort the pairs.

Broc, thank you for that. I was using ints as A2-Z2 in the example, but the solution I'm looking for should work for floats as all numbers as well.
