Hi Rolf, your code works charm, thank you so much. Finding difficult to understand the code, please add the comment especially for the copied code lines below, would be very helpful.

my $target = \ $tmp{$record->{name}};

    $$target->{name} = $record->{name};
    $$target->{_order} //= $order++;

delete $_->{_order} for @new_sorted_data;

Thanks again.

I simplified the code and added comments. HTH!

use warnings;
use Data::Dump qw/pp dd/;


# --- input data

my @sorted_data =

    # concat other elements
    for (qw/count_banking count_payment/) {

Here a cleaner and more generalized version, also closer to Schwartzian transform

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dump qw/pp dd/;


# --- input data

my @sorted_data =

    'count_payment' => '',
    'count_banking' => '31 (62.00)',

   },
   {
    'count_payment' => '10 (144.00)',
    'count_banking' => '',
    'name' => 'Parking Eye [LTD] Two',
   },
   {
    'count_payment' => '2 (80.42)',
    'count_banking' => '',

    'count_banking' => '4 (982.00)',
    'name' => 'Parking Eye [LTD] Two',
   }
  );



# --- join elements into temporary hash by name
my %by_name;
my $order = 0;

for my $record (@sorted_data) {

    my $name = $record->{name};

    # create new hash only if $name unknown
    $by_name{$name} //=
      {
       hsh => { name   => $name },
       ord => $order++,               # preserve original order
      };

    # concat other elements
    for my $field ( keys %$record ) {
        next if $field eq 'name';
        $by_name{$name}{hsh}{$field} .= $record->{$field};
    }

}
