I have the following table being generated...
Key1 Key2 Value
--------------------------------------
red bike 5
red car 4
red shoes 20
yellow shoes 1
yellow skates 1000
What I want to do is have the same table but sorted on the Value column. Therefore I would see 1000 at the top and then 20 next, etc...
I read from a delimited file and create a hash of a hash of an array. The array holds the value, a counter, which is incremented within a while loop with the following line
while (<>){
...
$hash{key1}{key2}[0]++;
...
}
I currently print the table above with the following:
for $colour (sort keys %hash){
for $device (sort keys %{ $hash{$colour}}){
printf("\n%-55s %-55s %-40s",
$colour, $device, $hash{$colour}{$device}[0] );
}
}
How do I print the table by sorting strictly on the value?
