Well, it certainly IS possible, although it's more complex than using
ArraySort. You could sort a two-dimensional array by any inner element, if
you so choose. However, you have to build that logic yourself, and it's not
going to be a speedy thing, either. You might look at a querysort custom tag
for an example.
