I?m trying to sort my hash of results from a query search.
By category (1)Exact $query, (2)All of the words in the $query,
and finally (3) any words in the $query.

I?m familiar with sorting alphabetically ex.

@RE_QUERY = sort { "$QUERY {$a}[3] $QUERY {$a}[2] $QUERY {$a}[0]" cmp + "$QUERY {$b}[3] $ QUERY {$b}[2] $QUERY {$b}[0]" } keys % QUERY;


But now I need to sort it depending on the presence of the $query in fields in the hash!

I may be using any of the two!
$titles{$PathFilename} = $title; $descriptions{$PathFilename} = $description;

or
$RESULTS{PathFilename}[0] = $title; $RESULTS{PathFilename}[1] = $description;

Haven?t decided what to use?

I need to sort it first by the $title or the presence in it then the $description using the three Categories for sorting.

Thank you for any help!
