I have a hash of array refs

my %hash = ( TYPE => ["hole", "hole", "chain", "slot"],
             SIZE => [126, 93, 96, 130],
             STEP => ["pcb", "pcb", "array", "panel"],
             COMP => ["none", "none", "right", "left"], );

I need to sort the $hash{SIZE} array and have all the other arrays sort along with it.

I looked at a lot of documentation and found sorts of many types but none match my problem. I was thinking the Schwartzian Transform might work but I'm not sure how to get from the example to a working ST I can use...

Thanks in advance for all your help!!

Prost,
Moe
