Re: [MacPerl] Sorting Arrays

[Carl Johan Berglund <carl.johan.berglund@adverb.se>]

Well, you aren't putting your data in an array in the first place, but in a
hash. What I guess you are trying to do is this:

$test[1] = 'z';
$test[2] = 'a';
$test[3] = 'q';

@test = sort {$a cmp $b} @test;

foreach $element (@test) {
   print "$element\n";
}

which would output


a
q
z

(with a blank line for $test[0], which is undefined)

You can't sort a hash, you can only sort its keys or values.
