I have a table of tables:

local tab = {
{false, "lip"},
{true, "abc"},
{true, "def"},
}

How can I sort this alphabetically, by the second value inside of each element inside of tab? I want it to result to this:

local tab = {
{true, "abc"},
{true, "def"},
{false, "lip"}
}

table.sort(tab, function(a, b) return b[2] > a[2]; end);

Not tested but should work
