Re^2: Fastest way to sort a list of integers into 0,1,2,3,-3,-2,-1

Isn't

                @list = unpack 'j*', pack 'J*',
                        sort { $a <=> $b }
                        unpack 'J*', pack 'j*',
                        @list;

just a complicated/expensive way of doing

                @list = unpack 'j>*',
                        sort
                        pack 'j>*',
                        @list;

No, ikegami, what you wrote won't work, but perhaps, instead, you meant Tux' version. It's slower -- (un)packing per element rather than "en masse" into (from) single scalar.	[reply]

Oh right. It would be `@list = map { unpack 'j>', $_ } sort map { pack 'j>', $_ } @list;` [download] I knew I was tired and missing something.	[reply] [d/l]
