Hi,

I'm a newbie in perl (also in programming), so I'll try to explain myself... I have an array of hashes with the following structure

$matrix[0]{A} = 22

...

$matrix[1]{C} = 30

...

...

[A->22, C->51, G->7, T->0]

[A->9, C->30, G->0, T->2]

[and so on ]

I want to sort each row in another array of arrays by the values of each hash, but keeping the information of the letter. For instance:

@sorted[][]

[ 51 22 7 0 C A G T ]

[ 30 9 2 0 C A T G ]

...

So i can relate 51 with C, 22 with C, etc.

Thanks in advance!

I tried to do the thing that kennethk proposes but i got lost in the syntax because It's a hash into an array.

@sorted = sort { {$a} <=> {$b} } keys @matrix[$pos]{};
