How can I reorder a list in python?
<p>If I have a list [a,b,c,d,e] how can I reorder the items in an arbitrary manner like [d,c,a,b,e]?</p>

<p>Edit: I don't want to shuffle them. I want to re-order them in a predefined manner. (for example, I know that the 3rd element in the old list should become the first element in the new list)</p>
