does not compute

I'm afraid that this just doesn't suffice as a description of the problem. You would not accept this from one of your users so please take a moment to understand why it does you no favours here.

Here is the SSCCE illustrating that LanX is probably right.

#!/usr/bin/env perl 
use strict;
use warnings;

use Test::More tests => 1;

my %records = (
    123 => {
        Meta => {
            Name => 'Bob'
        }
    },
    124 => {
        Meta => {
            Name => 'Alice'
        }
    },
    125 => {
        Meta => {
            Name => 'Eve'
        }
    }
);

my @sortedkeys = sort { $records{$a}{Meta}{Name} cmp $records{$b}{Meta
+}{Name} } keys %records;

is_deeply \@sortedkeys, [124, 123, 125], 'Sorted by name';
