normal hashes have no order and can't be sorted!

But if you wanna get the values in a special order you can use a hashslice on sorted keys in one line

@svalues = @hash{ sort {...} keys %hash }

> But it gives error saying use of implicit split to @_ is deprecated.

scalar split has the ugly side effect to globber @_ (AFAIK at least prior 5.12), you may try something like m/(d)/ or tr/d// to count the "d"s.

UPDATE:

@svalues = @hash{ sort { $a=~tr/d// <=> $b=~tr/d// } keys %hash } should do.

even @svalues = @hash{ sort { $a=~tr/d// <=> $b=~tr/d// } %hash } does what you want (but I can't remember where it's documented) (was wrong)

Cheers Rolf

UPDATE: corrected typo, thx to davido
