Sorting a list of a list by specific element in said list

I would like to sort the lists below by the last element (the numbers), could someone share some hints? Thanks

detailListComplete=
(("MPDIOION2.1 pmos2v_mac 9.8")
("MPDIOION2.2 pmos2v_mac 20.8")
("MPDIOION2.3 pmos2v_mac 29.8")
("MPDIOION2.4 pmos2v_mac 29.8")
("MPION2DUM.1 pmos2v_mac 22.8")
("MPION2DUM.2 pmos2v_mac 29.8")
("MPION2DUM.3 pmos2v_mac 29.8")
("MPION2DUM.4 pmos2v_mac 21.8")
("MPION2DUM.5 pmos2v_mac 29.8")
("MPION2DUM.6 pmos2v_mac 39.8")
("MPMIRION2.1 pmos2v_mac 29.8")
("MPMIRION2.2 pmos2v_mac 21.8")
("MPRAMPMIN.1 pmos2v_mac 29.8")
("MPRAMPMIN.2 pmos2v_mac 28.8")
("MPEN5 pmos5v_mac 7.3")
)

    sorted=sort(detailListComplete lambda((a b) atof(nthelem(3 parseString(car(a)))) < atof(nthelem(3 parseString(car(b))))))

    No error checking - it assumes that each sub-list is a list of a single string with three words, the third of which is a number.
