Hi,

Sort simply sorts an array in ascending or descending order, depending on your choice.

SortByKey arranges one array on the sorting order of another array.

Say you have 2 arrays :

Array 1 --> B,D,A,E

Array 2 -->1,2,3,4

Now if you use sortByKey on array2 depending on Array1, Array2 will have the order --> 3,1,2,4.... i.e, the correspponding elements for sorted array1 --> A,B,C,D..

one pre requisite is that both arrays need to have same number of elements

Regards
