I have a file which list the file permission,main directory and filename. I am trying to sort it,
I read it into array and tried to sort it by its 2nd column like this, 
 @array = sort{(split(/\s/,$a))[1] cmp (split(/\s/,$b))[1]} @array;

but the problem is when 2nd column is same I want it to be sorted by 3rd column. 
2755    home
444    home/backup    appletest.txt
444    home/backup    dhl.txt
444    home/support    appletest.bat
2755    bin
755    bin/backup    env.txt
755    bin/support    arc.bat
755    bin/backup    aus.txt

644    etc/support    arc.bat
644    etc/support    dhl.bat
