Just to add one more solution to this question that works with numpy.
You can also view the array using fields and then sort (which will do
lexicographic ordering) and convert the result back to the original view.
Something like this:
a = array([[5,2],[1,3]])
dt = a.dtype
g = a.view([('',dt),('',dt)])
g.sort(0)
a = g.view(dt)
