@pilayaa This should work as long as each item has only two characters

You are right. I want the list to start with R. So I just modify the key order from 1,2,0 to 2,1,0. Now I got the list as my requirement. Thanks for your suggestion.

In addition to this I have a list and its relevant Element list. I want it in a specific order. In Image-1 you can see the circuit number and its Element list. In Image-2 Circuit number in the specific order. I want the Element list based on the circuit list. Hope you guys have the solution.
List 1

List 2

You can try the dictionary method for that:
