Re: Re: Sort Question (Again) :(

HEY.. I found out why Jeff was coming before Jayne... And my god that can be a loaded answer or question... Anyways...
The problem is Jeff has a space in front of his name... Now how would I say ignore the space in the front of all fields and then sort??

Change the `split` criteria to remove whitespace as well. Building on davorg's code: `my @sorted_list = map { $_->[0] } sort { $a->[1] cmp $b->[1] or $a->[2] cmp $b->[2] } map { [ $_, (split /\t\s/)[3,4] ] } @database_in;` [download] Blessed Be* The Pixel	[reply] [d/l]
