Sorting a list while keeping its correspondence to another list

I have the following two lists:



ids = {5, 11, 17, 24, 31, 37, 40, 39, 38, 33, 32, 25}

values = {0.0351563, 0.131836, 0.086792, 0.0637894, 0.065752, 0.191388, 0.063796, 0.173784, 0.0503769, 0.0875244, 0.0146484, 0.0351563}


where entries in values correspond to entries in ids.



I now wish to sort ids in ascending order while maintaining the correspondence to values, such that elements in values must be changed according to the changes made to ids.



How can that be achieved?

    A problem that arises here with Transpose is is that it unpacks arrays: ids is a list of integers and values is a list of machine reals. So both can be packed separately; but not Transpose@{ids, values} as it has mixed data types. This may become important when processing large datasets.
