Hi Monks
I'm having a issue here where I need to sort the values of the variables in my code here but the sorting is getting done on the letter values and not after the reg. exp. changes to what I want them to.
Here is what I am trying to say:
           $status=~s/P|F|C|D|I/Posted/g;
           $status=~s/A/Accepted/g;
           $status=~s/N/New/g;
           $status=~s/R/Rejected/g;
           $status=~s/S/Save/g;
           $status=~s/X/Canceled/g;

my @strings = $status;
my @sorted_strings = sort @strings;
print "<br><font color=red>@sorted_strings</font><br>";

I want to sort after all the single letter has been changed to the corresponded values on the regular expression.
Thanks for the help!
