Re: Re: (jeffa) Re: Sorting Numbers

From the perspective of sheer laziness, would it work to replace the

"local ($a, $b) = @_"

with a

"local ($b, $a) = @_"

? Reversed sort order, no comprehension or re-writing required.

Except of course `$a` and `$b` aren't actually passed into the sort function like that. Which is presumeably why that line is commented out :-) Blessed Be The Pixel	[reply]

Argh, how disgusting. But this should probably do the trick: local ($a, $b) = ($b, $a)	[reply]
