in thread Sorting Data::Dumper Output

Thanks for all the help, this is what turned out to be the easiest fix, Ovid's suggestion
use Data::Dumper;
use Tie::SortHash;
 
%hash = ( 
x=> 'line 1',
z=> [ 1, 2, 4],
y=> { file=> 'test.txt',
      length=> 200,
      type => 'ASCII'
    },
a=> 'line 2'
);
tie %hash, 'Tie::SortHash', \%hash;
print Dumper(\%hash);

and all came out as I desired.

    It should always be that easy! Didn't think a tie would work. I just "ass"umed that Data::Dumper was walking the structure in a clandestine fashion.

    I guess I'll try Data::Denter
