Hi hdb, Yes, but why? Checking sort documentation you will find this: `Warning: syntactical care is required when sorting the list returned from a function. If you want to sort the list returned by the function call "find_records(@key)", you can use: @contact = sort { $a cmp $b } find_records @key; @contact = sort +find_records(@key); @contact = sort &find_records(@key); @contact = sort(find_records(@key)); [download]` Among other things.. That shows it can as well use: `print Dumper( [ sort &uniq( @x, @y ) ] );` showing the list to be sorted is returned from a function. If you tell me, I'll forget. If you show me, I'll remember. if you involve me, I'll understand. --- Author unknown to me	[reply] [d/l] [select]
