Duplicate of sort outer array based on values in inner array, javascript
here you will find several answers, like my own

var arr = [.....]

arr.sort((function(index){

    return function(a, b){

        return (a[index] === b[index] ? 0 : (a[index] < b[index] ? -1 : 1));

    };

})(2)); // 2 is the index

This sorts on index 2
