Dear Mathematica group,

I have a simple question for you.

Let's say there is a list like

KS = {{300, 48, 2}, {500, 23, 5}, {120, 55, 7}, {40, 32, 1}};

I want to sort it by second element.

I can use

Sort[KS, #2[[2]] > #1[[2]] &]

It gives out like

{{500, 23, 5}, {40, 32, 1}, {300, 48, 2}, {120, 55, 7}}

But if I want to use SortBy, how to do that?

SortBy[KS, ??]

Thanks!
