Sorting Color codes

This basically sorts color codes.

perl -e'print sort { hex(substr($a,1,6)) <=> hex(substr($b,1,6)) } ("#FF0000","#00FF00","#0000FF","#FF00FF","#FFFF00")'

Hrm. Maybe I'm missing something, but what's wrong with a simple sort? `perl -e 'print sort qw(#FF0000 #00FF00 #0000FF #FF00FF #FFFF00)'` It returns the same sorted-order as your code (namely: `#0000FF, #00FF00, #FF0000, #FF00FF, #FFFF00`) and it's simpler. bbfu Seasons don't fear The Reaper. Nor do the wind, the sun, and the rain. We can be like they are.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
