System Log Severity Sort

A system administrator needs to sort log messages by severity. The severities are: 'ERROR' (highest priority), 'WARNING' (medium), and 'INFO' (lowest). Sort the logs by priority. If the priority is the same, sort by the Timestamp (integer, lower is earlier). If both are the same, sort by the message string. Input: First line N. Next N lines: Severity Timestamp Message. Output: The sorted messages. Example Input: 3 INFO 100 UserLoggedIn ERROR 50 DiskFull WARNING 75 HighCPU Example Output: DiskFull HighCPU UserLoggedIn
