Re^4: Sorting numerials first and then numerials with alpha characters last

Perl's sort isn't even stable in all versions of Perl, so the solution won't work in all existing versions of Perl.

Perl's sort isn't guaranteed to be a stable sort, so the solution isn't guaranteed to work in future versions of Perl.

But, you can tell sort to use a stable algorithm using use sort 'stable';.
