Re^2: sorting hash alphabetically with numbering

Yes, exactly. Thank you!

It works perfectly, but I don't quite follow this line...

printf "%d: %s, %s\n", ++$n, $_, $cities{ $_ } for @sorted;

printf takes a FORMAT: in this case, that's `"%d: %s, %s\n"`. Those FORMATs are documented under the related function sprintf. The '`for @sorted`' part is a statement modifier: documented under perlsyn: Statement Modifiers. Hopefully, the remaining parts are clear. If not, please specify what part(s) you're having difficulty with. — Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]
