Fellow Monasterians,

I have no problem sorting an AoH, but when I try to sort it as a reference (as I fetchall_arrayref it from MySQL for a HTML::Template loop) I get zero results. I've Googled and SS'ed with little success. Anyway, what am I missing? Thanks.

my $sqldata = [
   { level => 2, menuname => 'cccccc' },
   { level => 3, menuname => '333333' },   
   { level => 3, menuname => '222222' },
   { level => 1, menuname => 'CCCCCC' },
   { level => 2, menuname => 'bbbbbb' },
   { level => 1, menuname => 'BBBBBB' },
   { level => 1, menuname => 'AAAAAA' },
   { level => 3, menuname => '111111' },
   { level => 2, menuname => 'aaaaaa' },
];
      
my $sorted = sort { 

                  $a->{level} <=> $b->{level}
                                 || 
                  [$a->{menuname} cmp $b->{menuname}
                  
                  } @$sqldata;

for ( 0 .. $#$sorted ) {
   print $sorted->[$_]{level}." ".$sorted->[$_]{menuname}."<br>";
}
