target has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I am a true perl novice and I need to sort the output of this code.
I have @array with 96 lines in the array with 15 slices per line (in case I'm using the wrong terminology,
$sorted[96][14] is the last referenceable slice.
I need to sort by the $array[$j][4] slice before this block
executes.
I have searched the FAQs, and found several references similar to @sorted = sort {$b <=> $a} @array;
but I can not find how to sort by a specific slice.
for $j (0 .. $#sorted) { print "<tr bgcolor=#888888><td>$sorted[$j][4]</td><td>$timecon</td><td +>$sorted[$j][3]</td><td>$sorted[$j][6]</td><td>$sorted[$j][7]. </td><td>$sorted[$j][5].</td><td>$sorted[$j][8]</td><td>$sorted[$j][9] +</td><td>$sorted[$j][11]</td><td>$sorted[$j][12].</td><td>$sor ted[$j][14].</td><td>$sorted[$j][13]</td></tr>\n\n"; }
