/// You can use the Array.Sort method to sort two arrays at the same time. The values of one array are
/// used as the keys to determine the sort order and the values of the second array are just changed to
/// match the sequence of the first array.
///
/// Array.Sort takes two arrays. The first is an array of keys, dictating how the elements will be sorted.
/// The second will just be reordered to match the sequence of the first array.
