in thread Get most recent data based on a date from an array of hashes.

I liked your approach to this, just one question, the code works with the dates in MM-DD-YYYY and YYYY-MM-DD, is this on this part of the code "2,0,1", that's the part I am confused with it, thanks!
#!/usr/bin/env perl #use 5.032; use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; my @dates = qw( 02-03-2003 03-01-2022 01-15-2022 01-15-2023 01-15-2001 + 11-15-2023); #my @dates = qw( 2003-02-03 2015-03-01 2032-01-15 2023-01-15 2001-01-1 +5 2028-11-15); print "\n\n ".Dumper \@dates; my @sorted = sort { my $new_a = join( q{-}, (split(/-/,$a))[2,0,1] ); my $new_b = join( q{-}, (split(/-/,$b))[2,0,1] ); $new_b cmp $new_a } @dates; print "\n\n $sorted[0]\n\n";
