Custom Score Sorter
You are assigned to sort a list of student scores based on two criteria: first by the score in descending order, and for students with the same score, by their names in alphabetical order. Each student's information consists of their name and score.
Input format:
- The first line contains a single integer, n (1 ≤ n ≤ 1000): the number of students.
- The next n lines contain a string (the student's name) followed by an integer (the student's score).
Output format:
- Print the sorted list of students in the specified order, each on a new line.
Example:
Input:
3
Alice 88
Bob 95
Charlie 88
Output:
Bob 95
Alice 88
Charlie 88
