I could be wrong, but it looks like you are using coordinate pairs. The following sorts coordinate pairs with y in descending order and x in ascending (since you didn't specify x to be descending as well):
use strict;
use warnings;
my ($x, $y, $ref);
for (0..20) { # Randomize some data points for testing
$x = int rand 100;
$y = int rand 100;
$ref->[$_] = [$x,$y];
}
for (sort {$b->[1] <=> $a->[1] or $a->[0] <=> $b->[0]} @$ref) {
print $_->[0] . ',' . $_->[1] . "\n";
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
