Pater Nosters,
I am using a hash to recreate an HTML table with radios expressing previous choices for image alignment in this intuitive order: Left, Center, Right. Problem is that, of course, the hash keys are not ordered this way and can't be sorted in any elegant way I can think of. Of course brute force can recreate the table as seen on previous pages with the appropriate radio selected but this means many more lines of code than I think should be needed. The current code is below. Any advice is, as always, greatly appreciated.
TIA

my %top_align = (       Left         => "left",
                          Center    => "center",
                          Right     => "right",
          );

          while (my ($k, $v) = each %top_align) {
        if ($image_align_top eq $v) {
            print qq|<td>
                      <div align="center">
                        $k <input type="radio" name="image_align_top" 
+value="$v" checked>
                      </div>
                    </td>|;
        } else {
            print qq|<td>
                      <div align="center">
                        $k <input type="radio" name="image_align_top" 
+value="$v">
                      </div>
                    </td>|;
        }
    }
