How do I sort tuples in Python for production systems?

Sorting tuples in Python can be effectively done using the built-in `sorted()` function or the `sort()` method for lists. This is especially useful in production systems where data must be organized and accessed efficiently.

Here is an example of sorting a list of tuples based on the first element of each tuple:


            # Sample list of tuples
            data = [(3, 'apple'), (1, 'banana'), (2, 'orange')]

            # Sorting tuples by the first element
            sorted_data = sorted(data)

            print(sorted_data)  # Output: [(1, 'banana'), (2, 'orange'), (3, 'apple')]
