Default Sort data separated by commas

Good day and thanks for reading.
I am working on a file where a cell contains data separated by a comma.
ex:
Col A Col B
Row 1 {Medium, Blue, hard } { 153 }
Row 2 {Big, Red, soft } { 230 }
Row 3 {Small, Pink, hard } { 50 }
Row 5 {Big, Blue, soft } { 250 }

Where { } are the limits of the cell

What I am looking for is a way to sort Column A by the second value on each
cell, ex: (Blue, Red, Pink)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks
