Hi Dominic,
use Ordering with Part or Extract:
In[1]:= t={{{1,2},{3,-1},{2,-4}},{{1,2},{4,-5},{6,-8}},{{2,-1},{-2,-3},
{-4,6}}};
In[2]:= #[[First@Ordering[#,{2}]]]&/@t
Out[2]= {{2,-4},{4,-5},{-2,-3}}
In[3]:= Extract[#,Ordering[#,{2}]]&/@t
Out[3]= {{2,-4},{4,-5},{-2,-3}}
Even Sort will do:
In[4]:= Sort[#][[2]]&/@t
Out[4]= {{2,-4},{4,-5},{-2,-3}}
Best,
Norbert
