age={30,12,60,20};
pple={"john","kate","peter","alice"};

{age,pple}=Transpose[Sort[Thread[{age,pple}]]]

{{12, 20, 30, 60}, {"kate", "alice", "john", "peter"}}

or

age={30,12,60,20};
pple={"john","kate","peter","alice"};

pple=pple[[Ordering[age]]]

{kate,alice,john,peter}

age=Sort[age]

{12,20,30,60}
