in reply to XML::Twig -- sorting by attribute
It looks like you're getting a list of players with XML::Twig easily enough. Once you have that, sorting on two separate fields is not that difficult. Just use two tests in your sort codeblock:
You might need to tweak the attribute test to do the Right Thing for null values. But this is the general technique for sorting on multiple keys: test to see if the primary key is different; if so order on that, and if not, order on the secondary key.# Warning, untested. # Given @players as above, my @sorted= sort { $a->atts->{vob} <=> $b->atts->{vob} || $b->first_child_text($field) <=> $a->first_child_text($field) } @players;
I hope this is what you were looking for :)
