Sort twice:
>>> for item in items:
... print item
...
('adams', 'anne')
('miller', 'arnold')
('miller', 'bill')
('adams', 'berta')
('adams', 'charlotte')
('miller', 'thomas')
>>> items.sort(key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
>>> items.sort(key=lambda x: x[0])
>>> for item in items:
... print item
...
('adams', 'charlotte')
('adams', 'berta')
('adams', 'anne')
('miller', 'thomas')
('miller', 'bill')
('miller', 'arnold')
See? First column ascending, second column descending within groups of rows
with equal first column.
