You are very close. Change the first term of the sort to

$HoH{$b}->{"value2"} <=> $HoH{$a}->{"value2"}

I would do without the complication of printf as you are not doing any fancy formatting.

use strict;
use warnings;

my %HoH = ( 
    "a" => { "value1" => "foo", "value2" => "1"},
    "e" => { "value1" => "bar", "value2" => "2"},
    "b" => { "value1" => "foo", "value2" => "2"},
    "f" => { "value1" => "bar", "value2" => "2"},
    "d" => { "value1" => "foo", "value2" => "3"},
    "c" => { "value1" => "bar", "value2" => "5"},
    "h" => { "value1" => "foo", "value2" => "4"},
    "g" => { "value1" => "foo", "value2" => "4"}
            );  

print
   map  {qq{$_ has v1=$HoH{$_}->{value1} and v2=$HoH{$_}->{value2}\n}}
   sort {
            $HoH{$b}->{value2} <=> $HoH{$a}->{value2}
            ||
            $a cmp $b
        }
   keys %HoH;

I hope this is of use.
