In both cases there are only 6 elements to be sorted, 
sort does not unpack nested lists/tuples.

Python's sorting algorithm for lists considers a single item 
element to be less than a multi item element. This is an 
arbitrary choice (although it makes some sense to me!) and 
the author culd have gone the other way but didn't.
