Sort Employee Records

You are managing employee records and need to sort them by their last names. Write a program that sorts a list of employees in alphabetical order based on their last names. If two employees have the same last name, sort them by their first names. Input: The first line contains an integer E, the number of employees. The next E lines each contain an employee's first name (a string) and last name (a string). Output: Print the sorted list of employees in the format 'FirstName LastName'. Example: Input: 3 John Doe Jane Smith Alice Doe Output: John Doe Alice Doe Jane Smith
