Answer 1

You can use list.sort with the reverse argument:

>>> l = [(3, 'one'), (2, 'was'), (2, 'two'), (1, 'too'), (1, 'racehorse'), (1, 'a')]
>>> l.sort(key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
>>> l.sort(key=lambda x: x[0])
>>> l
[(1, 'too'), (1, 'racehorse'), (1, 'a'), (2, 'was'), (2, 'two'), (3, 'one')]
