Answer

from operator import itemgetter
students = [('Bob', 75), ('Adam', 92), ('Bart', 66), ('Lisa', 88)]

print(sorted(students, key=itemgetter(0)))
print(sorted(students, key=lambda t: t[1]))
print(sorted(students, key=itemgetter(1), reverse=True))

Output

[('Adam', 92), ('Bart', 66), ('Bob', 75), ('Lisa', 88)]
[('Bart', 66), ('Bob', 75), ('Lisa', 88), ('Adam', 92)]
[('Adam', 92), ('Lisa', 88), ('Bob', 75), ('Bart', 66)]
