[R] Sorting a matrix by a column

[John Sorkin]

R 2.6
Windows XP

I have a 100x4 matirx

data<-matrix(nrow=100,ncol=4)

I would like to sort the entire matrix by column two, i.e. data[,2]
I looked at the help page for sort() but can not determine how I can use it to sort a matrix on one of the matrix's columns.

Thanks,
John
