I have the below array of hashes which I'm creating using the File::Find method.

I would like to order the array by the key value file name so when I print the array out using the HTML Template method they are in a listed in a alphabetical order.

I've attempted various sort methods with interesting results.

Please can anyone help. I'm a newbie to perl so if i've made a school boy error forgive me. 
 
$VAR1 = [
          {
            'file_name' => 'uk_campaign1_2005_06',
            'details' => [
                           {
                             'value' => 'Harry Potter',
                             'name' => 'Owner'
                           },
                           {
                             'value' => '24-11-2005',
