A word-for-word translation

A：そして、彼女かのじょは自分じぶんの感情かんじょうを二番目にばんめに出だす。

This can be OK, at least people understand what you are trying to say.
But, 二にの次つぎ is a more natural expression.

You may be confused because 二にの次つぎ seems to mean the next of digit after two, so three.

二にの is a fixed expression meaning second and has been used for ages.
And 次つぎ originally means ‘something that comes after’.

So, 二にの次つぎ means ‘the second thing that follows’ or ‘the thing that follows next’.
