digitalmars.D.learn - How would I sort an associative array by value?

Or more generally does D have a library function so I can sort 
one array based on sorting the contents of another? I don't want 
to just sort the values alone, the associated keys would need to 
move with them. I can think of ways of doing it myself, just 
wondering if there's an elegant way built in.

sort!"a[0]<b[0]"(zip(basedOnThis, alsoSortThis));

This sorts both ranges in-place based on the contents of the first range.
