Hello monks,
I've dumped the following data structure to show my problem below: 
$VAR1 = 'cycVolumeSetActivity';
$VAR2 = {
          '1' => 'reconstruct',
          '2' => 'initialize',
          '3' => 'verify',
          '10' => 'mirrorCreate',
          '4' => 'spareTest',
          '11' => 'migration',
          '5' => 'scheduledReconstruct',
          '12' => 'expansion',
          '6' => 'scheduledInitialize',
          '7' => 'scheduledVerify',
          '8' => 'scheduledSpareTest',
          '9' => 'mirrorBreak'
        };

I'm using the following code to sort my hash of hashes by key. I'm trying to get the numerical keys in order for printing. see below: 
foreach my $key ( keys %event_hash ) {
     print "$key: { ";
    
    for my $key2 ( sort keys %{ $event_hash{$key} } ) {    
    sort { keys %{$event_hash{$key}{$b}} cmp keys %{$event_hash{$key}{
+$a}} } keys %event_hash;
    print "$key2=$event_hash{$key}{$key2} ";
    }
     print "}\n";
 }

It's not sorting them numerically, does anyone know why?

Thanks
