sort dataset array by value[1]

Question

How can I sort this dataset by its value [1] (4,10,19) so it returns as A,C,B?

var dataset = [
        ["A","4","570"],
        ["B","19","123"],
        ["C","10","395"],
    ];

You want to sort only on the second position, "data-bar-1", is that right? — nicolallias, May 06 '14 at 16:01
yep. in a further step I might try the sum of data-bar-1 + data-bar-2 — Martin, May 06 '14 at 16:04
So I think that http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_sort.asp is powerful enought: just define a sort function that compares the [1] of each operand — nicolallias, May 06 '14 at 16:10

Here you are sir http://jsfiddle.net/2js5x/1/ just using custom sort :)

function on_first(a,b){
    return a[1]-b[1]; 
}

You may evolve the custom sort to do the sum, else...
