Python and manipulation of list

I have a list something like below.

What I am looking for is simple way of formatting this in a table and sorting this list based either upon the 'no of times' or 'duration'

Note: I have tried 'tabulate' package but didn't give me proper results.

The data structure you must use is dictionary, So you can represent the data as :

data = {"com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd": [3, 28945],
        "com.whatsapp"            : [24, 1800631],
        "com.android.vending"     : [3, 305155]   }

package_name = data.keys()

package_name.sort(key = lambda x:data[x][0])  #sorting this list based upon the 'no of times'

package_name.sort(key = lambda x:data[x][1])  #sorting this list based upon the 'duration'

Output:

['com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd', 'com.android.vending', 'com.whatsapp']
#sorting this list based upon the 'no of times'

['com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd', 'com.android.vending', 'com.whatsapp']
#sorting this list based upon the 'duration'
