in reply to how to put hash key and value in order

You mean something like this?
%coins = ( "Quarter", 25, "Dime", 10, "Nickel", 5 ); foreach my $key (sort keys %coins) { print "$key: $coins{$key}<br />"; }

    Yours will sort on keys, but I'm pretty sure the OP wants his hash sorted on values.

      Hence it was phrased in the form of a question: I wasn't sure.
