I'm having a mental block and hoping someone can help me out. I have the following data structure (an array of anonymous hashes with a named hash inside each anonymous hash):

[
          {
            '221479714642518' => {
                                 'name' => 'Family Mobile Phone and Ta
+blet Repair',
                                 'link' => 'https://www.facebook.com/F
+amilyMobileRepairs/'
                               }
          },
          {
            '1626748754240747' => {
                                  'name' => 'Bows and Baubles by Morga
+n',
                                  'link' => 'https://www.facebook.com/
+bowsandbaublesbymorgan/'
                                }
          }
 ];

I want to sort the array based on the name key inside the inner hash. I'm trying something like this:

my @sorted_places = sort { $places->$a->{name} cmp $places->$b->{name}
+ } map { keys %$_ } @$places;

I get an error:

Can't call method "221479714642518" on unblessed reference

I've tried several different things but no luck. Any help is appreciated.
