Except, of course, that one otherwise very useful example in the
first referenced site appears to have an extra left parenthesis:
perlfaq4.html#How_do_I_sort_an_array_by_anyth says:
...
Which could also be written this way, using a trick that's come to be
known as the Schwartzian Transform:
@sorted = map { $_->[0] }
sort { $a->[1] cmp $b->[1] }
map { [ $_, uc((/\d+\s*(\S+)/ )[0] ] } @data;
