Okay...I got 3 answers...all three sound right...but I don't know which to use..I need the most efficient one.. 
#1:

sort{ $a->{users} ,<=> $b->{users} } @locations

#2

for my $loc ( sort { $a->{users} <=> $b->{users} } @locations )

#3

foreach $loc (reverse sort { int($a) <=> int($b) } @locations)

Which one is the most efficient one? I need one that can take at least 3,000 different ranks...thats the stress limit of my script and it must be able to handle the stress limit..
