in thread Transferring hash keys to array... Need help sorting

So what you're suggesting is that the arrays are being sorted correctly, but just not aligned with one another? That makes sense so I could adjust accordingly per your advice here... See I thought the problem might have been that I wanted to sort the keys (labels) according to the integer following "label" and that because I was using character sorting that's why it wasn't working. Or is that not the case?

    Well thats another kettle of fish. you want to sort by contents and leep labels in synced order. This will sort labels by the contents of $hash numerically <=>. 

    my @labels=sort {$hash{$a}<=>$hash{$b}} keys %hash; 
my @content = @hash{@labels};
