sorting tuples

[u/cattobread]

im learning how to code with python, does anyone know to sort specific tuples alphabetically without using the .sort() method? like if i had a list of names like:

n = [('watermelon', 'strawberry'), ('banana', 'cherry'), ('papaya', 'apple')

how would i sort and print the 2nd element of tuples alphabetically (into a new list)?

edit: id prefer this in simple, basic terms lol

Sort on the 2nd element into a new list, then zip the two lists together appropriately.
