Answer 1

To know where it the value was prior to sort you will have to make a copy of the list. Index method will not work with int in python but there is another method using numpy called where.

Answer 3

I am not sure what you are trying to do with index:

My understanding of index:

colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue']
print(colors.index('green'))

output: 1

Answer 4

William Owens List1 = [3,5,4,2]
Sorted : [2,3,4,5]
Sorted according to position:[[3],[0],[2],[1]]
Index number [3] means 2 ,[0] means 3,[2] means 4, [1] is 5

Answer 5
