Hello crusty_collins,
I would create my own sort mechanism and give it to sort:
my @entries;
...
# Loop over your files and extract data
push @files, {
'array_position' => $array_position,
'run' => $run,
'copy' => $copy,
'district' => $district,
'total' => $total
};
...
my @sorted_files = sort {
$a->{'run'} <=> $b->{'run'} || # use '<=>' for numbers
$a->{'copy'} <=> $b->{'copy'} ||
$a->{'district'} <=> $b->{'district'} ||
$a->{'total'} <=> $b->{'total'}
} @files;
This is a sample but you get the picture, extract the values of each file and then based on the values sort them.
Update: Adding array_position.
Hope this helps.
