Hi,

Lets say we have this hash:

$hash{a} = 0;
$hash{b} = 1;
$hash{c} = 0;
$hash{d} = 3;

[download]

The expected output is:

a = 0
c = 0
b = 1
d = 3

[download]

or

c = 0
a = 0
b = 1
d = 3

[download]

(note how 'a' & 'c' are switched)

Both are correct!

However, for consistency, I rather have always the same output.

The code that I'm using is:

foreach my $k ( sort { $hash{$a} <=> $hash{$b}  } keys %hash  ) {
    print "$k = $hash{$k}\n";
}

Thx

Guy
