Hi Brethren,

Keeping the initial order of insertion into the hash throughout the various map processes of the program. Below illustrates the various stages. I would like the insertion order of %hashA “key” to template the order of %hashB “value”. Then the order of %hashB “key” used to template the order of %hashC “key”. The actual program populates the hashes from a text files. hashA insertion order is descending order by value, hashB, and hashC are in ascending order by key. I had not appreciated that this order would not be retained as perl appears to default sort by key alpha numerically.
It has been suggested that Tie::hash could be an answer, there seems to be many different versions, perhaps someone with experience of Tie::hash could point me in the right direction?

UPDATE
The naming of some of the arrays may have been inappropriate as they may convey that they have been sorted when in fact they have not as pointed out by "limal" also copy and paste error in desired output
Thanks to all in advance.
