Update: -- Thank you all very much... I am going to hack in Anonymous Monk's solution, and investigate the other two to see if they will work, as, per blazar, I really DON'T want to pass parameters to sort.

Thanks,

=========================================

Hi,

I want to build a sorting sub within a 'for' loop that is different based on a value within the scope of the 'for' loop. Can this be done? The variables I use in the sub do not seem to be visible within the customized sorting sub. I know that $a and $b are passed automatically to this function -- is there a way to pass in other arguments to the sorting sub other than $a and $b?

Thanks,

Matt
