It's a work for Schwartzian Transform... 
$entry{$table}{A}{RANK} = R#3;
$entry{$table}{C}{RANK} = R#2;
$entry{$table}{B}{RANK} = R#1;

@array = map { $_->[0] }
    sort { $b->[1] cmp $a->[1] }
     map { [ $_, $entry{$table}{$_}{RANK} ] }
      keys %{$entry{$table}};

print ">> @array <<\n";

__END__
>> A C B <<

Update:
  • Change sort from <=> to cmp.
  • Dragonchild did one more single and efficient code!
