Re:How would you sort by second letter and then the third letter

a better way would do it by
def key(x):
return (x[1:])

putting the ‘:’ will return the string from the 2nd character on

All you need to do is have your key function return a tuple of the second and third letter:

def key(x):
    return (x[1], x[2])
