Answer 1

Here's an OO rewrite:

class Module:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name

    @property
    def level(self):
        for ch in self.name:
            if ch.isdigit():
                return int(ch)

class Grade:
    grade_marks = {
        "A+": 90,
        "A-": 80,
        "A":  75,
        "B+": 70,
        "B-": 65,
        "B":  60,
        "C+": 55,
        "C-": 50,
        "C":  46
    }

    def __init__(self, grade):
        self.grade = grade

    @property
    def mark(self):
        return Grade.grade_marks[self.grade]

class ModuleGrade:
    def __init__(self, module, grade):
        self.module = module if isinstance(module, Module) else Module(module)
        self.grade  = grade  if isinstance(grade,  Grade ) else Grade(grade)

    def __str__(self):
        return "{}: {}".format(self.module.name, self.grade.grade)

class StudentGrades:
    sortkeys = {
        "module": lambda mg: mg.module.name,
        "level":  lambda mg: mg.module.level,
        "grade":  lambda mg: -mg.grade.mark    # Note: the -ve makes it descending order
    }

    def __init__(self, name, module_grades = None):
        self.name = name
        if module_grades is None:
            self.module_grades = []
        else:
            self.module_grades = [mg if isinstance(mg, ModuleGrade) else ModuleGrade(*mg) for mg in module_grades]

    def add_grade(self, *args):
        if len(args) == 1:
            mg = args[0]
            if isinstance(mg, ModuleGrade):
                self.module_grades.append(mg)
            else:
                self.module_grades.append(ModuleGrade(*mg))
        elif len(args) == 2:
            self.module_grades.append(ModuleGrade(*args))
        else:
            raise ValueError("Bad arguments to StudentGrades.add_grade")

    def sort(self, key, reverse=False):
        key = StudentGrades.sortkeys.get(key, key)
        self.module_grades.sort(key=key, reverse=reverse)

    def __str__(self):
        return "\n".join([self.name] + ["  {}".format(mg) for mg in self.module_grades])

And here's how you use it:

nf = StudentGrades("Norman Foster", [("CS1010S", "A+"), ("CS2020", "A")])
nf.add_grade("MA1101R", "C")
nf.add_grade("SSA1207", "B+")
nf.add_grade("CS4247", "A+")
nf.add_grade("EA5001", "B")

print(nf)    # original insertion order

nf.sort("module")
print(nf)    # alphabetical by module name

nf.sort("level", reverse=True)
print(nf)    # in descending order by level

nf.sort("grade")
print(nf)    # descending order by grade
