I realize there are multitudinous posts of this nature but I have been reading and fell no wiser. I have %info whose values are arrays. I want to do a reverse numeric sort by the value of @{$info{$this_key}}$ndex for instance but my code is giving me a reverse sort of the order in which the keys were initialized as the were read from an excel file???
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
TIA
jg
  my @keys = sort {
    $info{$b} <=> $info{$a}
        ||
    length($b) <=> length($a)
        ||
    $a cmp $b
  } keys %info;

  foreach (@keys) { print "$_ is @{$info{$_}}[64] <br>" }
