Compare values in two different files

Hello,

I have output in one file that looks like:

Code:
AA 3
BB 1
CC 3
DD 6
EE 2
FF 6

And output in another file that looks like:

Code:
1 EE
3 CC
2 AA

I basically want to be able to match the counts in each file against the correct corresponding initials (and then obviosuly base a command on whether true or false). However, not all initials will always appear and will not be in the same order in both files if they do appear.

Would it be some sort of awk command to complete this?
