Compare two files, then outputs line number
I have two files, "ranked.txt" and "sorted.txt". Sorted.txt is a smaller subset from ranked.txt that is sorted in alpha order. However ranked.txt preserves the ranking of words I would like to keep.

How do I check the rank of every word in sorted.txt when matched to the original ranked.txt? I want to output the rank (which is the line number) from ranked.txt into sorted.txt.

ranked.txt:
1 the
2 quick
3 brown
4 fox
5 jumped

sorted:
brown
fox
jumped
quick
the

output.txt:
3 brown
4 fox
5 jumped
2 quick
1 the

This is what I have so far in Python:

Code:
for word in sorted_list:
    for num, line in enumerate(ranked_list, 1):
        if word in line:
            print word, '\t', num

Not doing exactly what I want... is it easier to do with sed/grep/awk??
