Greg,

mat = Table[{Random[Integer, {1, 10}], Random[Integer, {1, 10}]}, {10}]

Sort[mat, Last[#1] < Last[#2] &] // TableForm

Hello everyone,

How can I sort the rows of a matrix by using one or more of the  
columns as sort keys just like in a spreadsheet?  For example, if  
matrix M is 12 x 2 with numbers in the first column and unordered  
month numbers in the second, how would I order the rows by month?

	Regards,

		Greg
