Hi Monks! I want to sort an array in two different aspects. Alphabetically and numerically. For instance, this is my list: 
erez[11] dana[22] dana[0] erez[10] erez[1] erez[0] dana[10]

[download]
And I want it to be sorted like: 
dana[0] dana[10] dana[22] erez[0] erez[1] erez[10] erez[11]

[download]
For that I used: 
my @new_list=sort {(($a) cmp ($b)) & ($a =~ /\[(\d+)/)[0]<=> ($b =~ /\
+[(\d+)/)[0]} @split_list;

[download]
But it is not done correctly. I also tried to replace the '&' with '||' but it didnt help. Any suggestions? Thanks, Erez.
