I want to sort list alphabetical order python [on hold]

I have this list:

output_list= ['pop,4'
,'ants,1'
,'crop,1'
,'poet,1'
,'cat,2'
,'apple,1'
,'toe,1'
,'can,1'
,'long,1'
,'dog,1']

I want to sort it alphabetically like this:

['ants,1'
,'apple,1'
,'can,1'
,'cat,2'
,'crop,1'
,'dog,1'
,'long,1'
,'poet,1'
,'pop,4'
,'toe,1']

I tried using sorted but it's not working for me. Any help?
