Use a Schwartzian transform?

   t_order = [(item.seq, 'a', item.content) for item in text]
   m_order = [(item.seq, 'b', item.content) for item in media]
   for seq, content in t_order + m_order:
	display_text_or_media(content)

The 'a' and 'b' force a text item to precede a media item with the
same sequence number.  If you don't care, leave 'a' and 'b' out.
