I take it you want to sort first by the key which contains the highest score, and then within each key by that key's score. Here's one way to do it:

Update: removed unnecessary intermediate array

my @sorted; for my $key (keys %entry) { my $scores = $entry{$key}{'Score'}; my $locations = $entry{$key}{'Location'}; my @array = map { [ $key, $scores->[$_],$locations->[$_] ] } 0 .. +$#$scores; @array = sort { $b->[1] <=> $a->[1] } @array; push(@sorted, [ $array[0][1], \@array ]); } @sorted = sort { $b->[0] <=> $a->[0] } @sorted; for my $array (@sorted) { my $aoa = $array->[1]; for my $result (@$aoa) { print "$result->[0] $result->[1] $result->[2]\n"; } }
Output:
TRA 23 4-19 TRA 15 7-15 TRA 2 78-120 BLA 10 2-10 BLA 5 1-10
