how to sort an array of (Moose) objects

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

given:

foreach my $obj (@ArrayofObjects){

   $obj->print

}
[download]

How do I sort that to print in price order? I tried something like this:

foreach my $obj (sort @ArObj[$a]->price <=> @ArObj[$b]->price} @ArObj)
+ { # stuff here ... }
[download]

but does not work...What am I missing? Cheers...

How does it fail? Note that your sort routine as written above does not get array indices but the objects in `$a` and `$b`. The syntax for sort is also different. Maybe you want: `foreach my $obj (sort { $a->price <=> $b->price } @ArObj) { ... }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
