Odd, the naive way I would have written such a script would have been:
all_names = (line.split() for line in sys.stdin)
sys.stdout.writelines(' '.join(x[1])+'\n' for x in sorted((name[1],
name) for name in all_names))
which would not have worked correctly, it would have thrown an
exception because "Aahz\n".split()[1] does not exist.
I guess the second iteration would use name[1:] instead...
