Sort and delete partical duplicate file

I want to delete partical duplicate file

Code:
>gma-miR156d    Gm01,PACID=26323927     150.00  -18.28  2 18    17 35   16      75.00%  81.25%
>>gma-miR156d   Gm01,PACID=26323927     150.00  -18.28  150.00  -18.28  1       21      119      17


I want to order by the second column and delete the second line.
