NP. I was just explaining why I hadn't dealt with that bit. So long as you understand where and how to use your hash in my snippet, is all that matters.

    I just found that your solution also seems to work. It also does not sort the numbers, just the books, which left me a little puzzled, because it appeared setup to do both. One anomaly came out in the sort...the book of "Numbers" was thrown into the list in the wrong place! (Perl wouldn't be translating the name to a value, would it?) I double-checked the weighting, and there should have been no issue there. Thank you, again, for your helpfulness.

    Blessings,
