I cannot resolve this on my own. Need help, please...

nestedTuples = [
[ (L0t0e0, L0t0e1, L0t0e2), (L0t1e0, 2, L0t1e2), (L0t2e0, L0t2e1, L0t2e2) ],
[ (L1t0e0, L1t0e1, L1t0e2), (L1t1e0, 0, L1t1e2), (L1t2e0, L1t2e1, L1t2e2) ],
[ (L2t0e0, L2t0e1, L2t0e2), (L2t1e0, 1, L2t1e2), (L2t2e0, L2t2e1, L2t2e2) ] ]

With LNtXeY I mean the element Y in the tuple X of the list N.

How can I sort nestedTuples by, say, the 2nd element in the 2nd tuple of each list?

The above should get sorted as :

nestedTuples = [
[ (L1t0e0, L1t0e1, L1t0e2), (L1t1e0, 0, L1t1e2), (L1t2e0, L1t2e1, L1t2e2) ],
[ (L2t0e0, L2t0e1, L2t0e2), (L2t1e0, 1, L2t1e2), (L2t2e0, L2t2e1, L2t2e2) ],
[ (L0t0e0, L0t0e1, L0t0e2), (L0t1e0, 2, L0t1e2), (L0t2e0, L0t2e1, L0t2e2) ] ]

Thanks so much!!
