I have the following code: 
# fetch data from sql
while (my $row = $res->fetchrow_hashref()) {
    my %rowdata;
    
    # $score is generated by some badass algoritms, and is an integer
    $rowdata{SCORE} = $score;

    $rowdata{ID} = $row->{id};
    $rowdata{TITLE} = $row->{title};
    
    push (@output, \%rowdata);
}

[download]

This code gives me an array (oh yes, working) and everything is fine.

But how can I order @output by the $rowdata{SCORE} value? I want the highest integer to be listed first (descending).

I have tried with different sortings methods, but nothing is working. Could anybody help me out?
