Transaction Record Sorter

You are keeping track of transaction records. Each record includes a transaction ID and the amount. Sort the records first by the amount in descending order and then alphabetically by transaction ID if the amounts are the same. The input begins with an integer followed by that many lines of transaction records in the format 'transaction_id amount'. Output the records sorted on new lines with the original format. Example: Input: 3 abc123 200 xyz456 150 def789 200 Output: abc123 200 def789 200 xyz456 150
