I have a hash, with the months in it:

%month_array = (
1  => "Jan",
2  => "Feb",
3  => "Mar",
4  => "Apr",
5  => "May",
6  => "June",
7  => "July",
8  => "Aug",
9  => "Sep",
10 => "Oct",
11 => "Nov",
12 => "Dec"
);

I'm creating a popup_menu using CGI.pm. Here is the code for that:
popup_menu(-name=>"month_array",
    -values=>\%month_array,
    -labels=>\%month_array,
    -default=>$mon,
    -class=>"formfield")

[download]
That does not sort them from 1 to 12, (jan to dec).

I did have it like this:
popup_menu(-name=>"month_array",
    -values=>[sort keys %month_array],
    -labels=>\%month_array,
    -default=>$mon,
    -class=>"formfield")

[download]
That did not sort them either correctly.

How do I get them to sort from 1 to 12(values) or jan to dec(labels), using CGI.pm?

I used up both the ways I know to do it.

thx,
Richard
