Each element in the array is a reference to an anon hash. Loop over these references, then deference to get the keys to put into sort. output of sort is sorted keys. see below.
use strict; use warnings; my @aoh =( { 3 => 15, 4 => 8, 5 => 9, }, { 3 => 11, 4 => 25, 5 => 6, }, { 3 => 5, 4 => 18, 5 => 5, }, { 0 => 16, 1 => 11, 2 => 7, }, { 0 => 21, 1 => 13, 2 => 31, }, { 0 => 11, 1 => 14, 2 => 31, }, ); foreach my $href (@aoh) { my @sorted_keys = sort {$href->{$a} <=> $href->{$b} } keys %$href; foreach my $key (@sorted_keys) { print "$key => $href->{$key}\n" } print "\n"; } __END__ 4 => 8 5 => 9 3 => 15 5 => 6 3 => 11 4 => 25 3 => 5 5 => 5 4 => 18 2 => 7 1 => 11 0 => 16 1 => 13 0 => 21 2 => 31 0 => 11 1 => 14 2 => 31
