This will work for hashes with single keys 
use Data::Dumper;

my @aoh = ({doc1=>2345}, {doc2=>1234}, {doc3=>5678}, {doc4=>4567});
my @sorted_aoh = sort { (%$a)[1] <=> (%$b)[1] } @aoh;

print Dumper \@sorted_aoh;

__output__

$VAR1 = [
          {
            'doc2' => 1234
          },
          {
            'doc1' => 2345
          },
          {
            'doc4' => 4567
          },
          {
            'doc3' => 5678
          }
        ];
