I have two dimensional array of (String,Int) with 5 entries say arr("A",20), arr("B",13), arr("C", 18), arr("D",10), arr("E",19) I like to write a small code to order these in the order of highest Int column so I will have arr("A",20), arr("E",19), arr("C",18) .... What is the best way of doing this using arrays only? Thanks
