Hi everyone, I've been working on this all day and have yet figured out the right syntax. I'm selecting data from a database and placing it into a hash. I want to print the post numbers sometimes in ascending order and other times descending order. I got the ascending part down fine, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to sort it descending. The code to get the data into a hash and sort it ascending is this: 
##SELECT DATA FROM DATABASE AND FILL IT INTO A HASH
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM $table_POSTS WHERE Thread = '$Sent
+Thread'");
$sth->execute();
$sth->bind_columns(\$THREADd, \$POSTd, \$FORUMd, \$USERNAMEd, \$CREATE
+Dd, \$REPLIEDd, \$TITLEd,\$DRIFTd, \$LINKd, \$JPEGd, \$COMMENTSd, \$I
+Pd, \$REMd, \$OFFENSIVEd );

while($sth->fetch()) {
$view{$POSTd} = { 'thread' => $THREADd,
                    'post' => $POSTd,
                    'forum' => $FORUMd,
                    'username' => $USERNAMEd,
                    'created' => $CREATEDd,
                    'replied' => $REPLIEDd,
                    'title' => $TITLEd,
                    'drift' => $DRIFTd,
                    'link' => $LINKd,
                    'jpeg' => $JPEGd,
                    'comments' => $COMMENTSd,
                    'ip' => $IPd,
                    'rem' => $REMd,
                    'offensive' => $OFFENSIVEd 
};




###PRINT THE POST NUMBERS ASCENDING
foreach $view2 ( sort keys %view ) {

$POST = $view{$view2}->{'post'};

print "$POST<br>";


}

Can anyone show me how to sort this descending? Big thanks in advance.
