ye's all.

I'm trying to sort my hash with a series of different sorts. this is the code i'm using it seems to work. first, its sorts my list alphabetically then numerically by the number in {tag}. 
foreach my $server ( sort {$my_server_hash {$a} cmp $my_server_hash {$
+b}
&& $my_server_hash{$a}{tag} <=> $my_server_hash{$b}{tag}
} keys %my_server_hash)

to this i want find a string in  $my_server_hash{$server}{ADMINS} and drop that/them "record"s to last if a match is obtained; then finally - any 53s in the  $my_server_hash{tag} "records" need to be dropped to last.

i know i need to tidy up my code.

I have spent ages looking in books and websites but i am unable to find any code samples that i can get my head around.

can anyone offer any direction and/or some sample code to get me started?

this is a link to the output i'm trying to format..

i have me data, i just want it to look nice! thanks and good day.
