Here are two methods. I like the second a little better, I think.
data=Array[{#,N@Sin@#}&,{5}];
Sort[data,#1[[2]]<=#2[[2]]&]
data[[Ordering[data[[All,{2,1}]]]]]
{{5,-0.958924},{4,-0.756802},{3,0.14112},{1,0.841471},{2,0.909297}}
{{5,-0.958924},{4,-0.756802},{3,0.14112},{1,0.841471},{2,0.909297}}
If the second element of each pair is exact (Sin@n rather than N@Sin@n, for instance), the Sort isn't numerical by default:
data = Array[{#1, Sin[#1]} & , {5}];
Sort[data, #1[[2]] <= #2[[2]] & ]
data[[Ordering[data[[All,{2, 1}]]]]]
{{5, Sin[5]}, {4, Sin[4]}, {3, Sin[3]}, {1, Sin[1]}, {2, Sin[2]}}
{{1, Sin[1]}, {2, Sin[2]}, {3, Sin[3]}, {4, Sin[4]}, {5, Sin[5]}}
But we can do it any of these three ways:
data = Array[{#1, Sin[#1]} & , {5}];
Sort[data, N[#1[[2]]] <= N[#2[[2]]] & ]
Sort[data, N[#1[[2]] <= #2[[2]]] & ]
data[[Ordering[N[data[[All,{2, 1}]]]]]]
{{5,Sin[5]},{4,Sin[4]},{3,Sin[3]},{1,Sin[1]},{2,Sin[2]}}
{{5,Sin[5]},{4,Sin[4]},{3,Sin[3]},{1,Sin[1]},{2,Sin[2]}}
{{5,Sin[5]},{4,Sin[4]},{3,Sin[3]},{1,Sin[1]},{2,Sin[2]}}
The last method works because, for instance, Sin[1]<=Sin[2] is unevaluated (until N is applied). That's also why the previous Sort didn't change the order.
