Hello Monks, i got a newbie question here.

I can't fully understand how is sort() function works with preprocessing argument ( sort {precode} @array; ) and need your help:

@userz_tmp = qw/goodman hsytva %pisyun [error] Gerich Fair CYCLER ~shu
+rmann &BECHED sp w %sanekdark FIXER lizergin @XUEC/;

foreach(sort sorting @userz_tmp) {
 print "$_\n";
}

sub sorting {
 lc($a) cmp lc $b;
}

As you can see it's unreal ircd's permissions, so what i need to put in subroutine 'sorting' to get output like:

~nick     # 1: users with ~
~nick2
&nick     # 2: users with &
@nick     # 3: users with @
@nick2
%nick     # 4: users with %
+nick     # 5: users with +
nick8     # 6: users without ~&@%+ symbols in alphabetical order
nick9

Thank you.
