I have a multi-dimensional hash that needs to be sorted numerically. The hash stores names, head count, and house type. $HoH{$name}{'house_type'} $HoH{$name}{'head_count'} 
(%HoH) = ( 
    "Smith" => {
            "house_type" => 'colonial',
            "head_count" => '5',
        },
        "Jones" => {
            "house_type" => 'cape',
            "head_count" => '3',
        },
);

I would like to print this out, sorted by the head_count:
Smith House Type: colonial Head Count: 5
Jones House Type: cape Head Count: 3

I'm having difficulty with finding a solution for this. Please help!
