Now create a variable named sorted_fruit that uses sorted() and itemgetter() to sort fruit_list by the second item in each tuple.
from operator import itemgetter
fruit_list = [
('apple', 2),
('banana', 5),
('coconut', 1),
('durian', 3),
('elderberries', 4)
]
sorted_fruit = sorted(fruite_list , key=itemgetter(0))

Hope this helps ;)
