3,758 PointsI don't think that code will work. You want to use 1 in itemgetter to specify the 2nd "slot" of the tuple.
This code works: sorted_fruit=sorted(fruit_list, key=itemgetter(1)) print(sorted_fruit)

Python Development Techdegree Student 9,427 PointsRyan McGuire, You are right!. Here is my code, fixed with your advice (thanks by the way).
from operator import itemgetter
fruit_list = [
('apple', 2),
('banana', 5),
('coconut', 1),
('durian', 3),
('elderberries', 4)
]
sorted_fruit = sorted(fruit_list, key = itemgetter(1))
# My only error before looking at your suggestion.
# i used [] instead of () for itemgetter.
print(sorted_fruit)
