The first question I would have is, how did you get this array in the first place? If it's the output from an ActiveRecord query, then you could most profitably sort there in the data-gathering stage. Otherwise, if you redefine your sort method (or use a custom sort method) then you should be able to sort by the value of index 0 of each sub-array, right?
